Hoist a glass!

My first grandson, Evan Morgan, Jr., was born today. I suspect those of you who remember the back story on this will find this especially happy news. Based on the first pictures, young EJ looks a lot like his proud and happy Dad.

Congrats Oldfrat! That is one Welsh sounding name, is that where your family roots are?
All the best.
Mike

Congratulations on you first grandson. Spoil him rotten!

Congrats oldfrat. Sounds like a fishing partner in the making.

From an Old #art to an Oldfrat–congratulations. In 3 years, he will be ready to start fishing.

Oldfrat,

Congratulations on the birth of your grandson. Yes, I recall the background. My best to your son as well.

Allan (aka tyeflies)

Thanks, guys!

MIke, I’m 3/4 Welsh, but my bride is 0% Welsh and EJ’s mother only claims a small percentage of Welsh descent. But EJ is the first male of his generation to carry this fine Welsh surname. And the Evan Morgan name --which originally came to our shores with my great-great-great grandfather. My sister’s sons are named Roberts – another fine Welsh name, as is Thomas.

Allan, your son is in my prayers for sure. Hope he is doing well.

In the interest of not appearing mysterious, EJ’s dad is a Marine who lost his legs and an eye in Iraq. He continues to do great. Has completed several triathlons, including some Ironman ones. He is doing well in college, and has already proven a great father to his wonderful 4 year old daughter.

I’m just hoping I can hang in there long enough to teach EJ how to fly fish. It would be one of the greatest gifts I could give him. Both the fly fishing and the exposure to the mostly amazingly fine folks who practice this sport.

oldfrat,

My congratulations to you and Evan. I know his story. What a great day for your family.

You may already know this but if you don’t you will soon learn that the real reason to have kids is to get grand kids.
