A profile of Huntington Beach People:

The Brown Family is a young Huntington Beach family. Albert has been here 6 years; Anna has been here 3 years. And two-year old William---yup, two years! Anna is originally from Poland then later moved to Germany. Albert met Anna in Germany. Now HB is her home.

Like so many HB families, the Browns love Surf City Nights. Tuesday nights downtown are a frequent event for them. They also enjoy city recreation dept. classes, including baby yoga.

One of the Brown's favorite outings is barbecuing at Bolsa Chica beach. Last summer Albert surprised Anna with such a barbecue outing on the last sunny of the season.

The Browns, like many HB families, have visitors every year at Christmas. Some of the places they take the visitors are, of course, Main Street on Tuesday nights, the dog beach, and Sunday breakfast at Sugar Shack. Their family is spread throughout the world, including such far away places as Rio, Germany, and Poland, and places a little closer like Seattle, New York , and Virginia.

Albert and Anna are involved in their church and have participated in Hoag Hospital 's weekly walks. Albert works at IBM as a Software Architect in the Software Group, Enterprise Content Management. Anna works as a Yoga therapist, currently teaching classes at Bergman Family Chiropractic on Beach Blvd.
