12. Kroeber also had an adopted son

He was a Professor of Psychology at San Francisco State University.

I had him for statistics.

>>Alfred adopted Theodora's sons by her first marriage, Ted and Clifton Brown, who both took his surname.

My impression of his adopted son was an odd one I always thought.

He seemed very arrogant being he was a "Kroeber' (but he really wasn't). He wore a lot of turquoise jewelry. He was probably close to 60 years old at the time I had him for the statistics class I had to take to complete my psychology degree.

I knew who he was at that time but never thought I'd be chasing his father around some 40 years later.

The Kroeber family had it all it seemed to me. Very well off, that was for certain.

I just found this:

>>Theodore Charles Kroeber died at home in San Francisco on February 26, 2019. He was 95.

I had no idea he lived to be so old. He was born in Berkeley and died in San Francisco. That is where my grandfather was born, in Berkeley in 1892; died in Oakland in 1956.
