My middle name is Morrison. I had 3 Great Uncles named Morrison. My Great Grandmother’s maiden name was Morrison. I can barely remember them.
One day I was walking on a dirt road near the house. A guy in a model A pickup came by and slammed on his brakes. Gus Morrison got out and it was obvious he was drunk. He asked my name and when he heard what it was he reached in his pockets and gave me all the money he had. It wasn’t much but to a six year old it was a fortune.
They were all tall and handsome and very popular with the ladies. My Mother told me that all of them died in fights while drunk.
I always wondered if we were kin to Wayne.
J. Michael Morrison told me John Wayne(Morrison) was from a small town near De Moines.
