  Biography	Abt 2011
  2011 Paper Industry International Hall of Fame Inductee Founder and Leadership Neenah Paper Neenah, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Daniel Kevill (D. K.) Brown was born in Preston, Lancashire England on January 21, 1886. At the age of 14, he began a six year apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner in his father's business. In 1906, he came to Neenah, Wisconsin, U.S.A., worked as a carpenter and also took night courses in business. Brown started his career in the paper industry with Kimberly-Clark. When Neenah Paper Company separated from Kimberly-Clark in 1912, Brown joined Neenah Paper as a management trainee and worked his way up the corporate ladder to become president in 1941 and retired as CEO in 1955. In June 1954, Brown was awarded Honorary Ph.D. Degree from Lawrence College (now University) Appleton, Wisconsin. Brown was an experienced technical person, a skilled leader and an administrator. He worked diligently with the War Department to provide necessary paper products for army-navy needs. It was difficult and costly to change production from fine writing paper to the many different needs of the armed forces, but he made sure that Neenah Paper Company met the challenge. He had a marked impact on both the paper industry and the Fox River Valley. Brown was a founding trustee of the Institute of Paper Chemistry, a graduate school. He also served two terms as president of the American Paper and Pulp Association, was a member of the executive committee of TAPPI, served as president of the National Writing Paper Manufacturing Association, vice president of the Wisconsin Pulp and Paper Manufacturers Traffic Association and president of the Wisconsin Paper Group.
