I was reading through the Bryan family history book detailing 32 past generations.
In this book the Bryan family is married into the Morgan family generations ago.
One of my lineage descendants shown is Harry Morgan the Capt. Morgan.
He was hired by England as a privateer to attack Spanish ships during England's battle over land/sea in the Caribbean.
This is the same Capt Morgan who appears on Capt Morgan rum bottles and the movie Pirates of the Caribbean is based on.
Died in Jamica as Lt. Govenor and wealthy plantation owner.
Pretty cool!! Free rum??

We tried to "get up the hill" and eat there once, had kids with us and one blew out a diaper required clothes change which we didn't pack for that trip into town so that was the end of that.
Best book store in Seattle /Tacoma is right down the hill and about a block away. But arguably once you have went to Powells in Portland all else pales in comparison!

I think I told ya all my brother died last December in Washington State. My sister is helping on his estate with his children. Sis sent me a box of his wood working from high school.
I was with him in high school shop and we always helped one another on whatever we were making and remember these very well.
Still have tears after opening the box and he will be remembered.
