Saustrup Family October 11, 1964, Paul's Christening Brown and Saustrup families Front: Steffen Saustrup Steffen Saustrup writes about the picture, "Joe Brown, Dorothy Brown, and daughter Annie Laura Brown. Joe and Dorothy were Paul's godparents, and were great people in our lives for many years. Joe and Dorothy have passed on, but as far as I know Annie Laura is still living. They were very active members of Rising Star Baptist Church on E. 20th street, and several times Paul and I stayed for the weekend at their house over across MLK from the golf course (maybe Victoria street?) and would attend church with them. Dorothy was in the choir, and I remember being struck by the loud, active services. One further note of interest. This was Pat and Mel Oakes' first Sunday at the church and the presence of Black godparents told them they had found their church.
