SEATTLE -- Tan Brown could be sitting in her Seattle home this week preparing a Thanksgiving feast or enjoying vacation hanging with friends. Instead, she's in Vietnam spending time with an 18-month-old orphan with no eyes and no family.
For the Mariners videographer, this is the best way to give thanks for her own situation, to give something back to a world that has given her more than she could ever have hoped when she was a child growing up in her own difficult circumstances as a Vietnamese refugee.
Brown works for the Mariners as their video-camera person, roaming the Safeco Field stands taking the pictures of fans who appear on the stadium's big screen.
