An American patriot. It’s a shame that his son was such a selfish, misguided idiot. Fair winds and following seas, Admiral.

Wow, what a life!! I’d wanted to know about Admiral Morrison, I should have looked him up on the web a long time ago..... I remember hearing that Jim Morrison’s father was an Admiral but I didn’t know anything else.

R.I.P., Admiral Morrison.

btw, I don’t really believe in psychic phenomena but by some astonishing coincidence I was listening to a CD of “The Doors” music this morning for the first time in MANY YEARS and thinking about Jim Morrison’s life, even wondering about his family, friends, etc. and where they are now, who might still be alive etc. Now that feels like an eerie coincidence!

Close friend Earle Callahan said Rear Adm. Morrison declined in health after his wife died in 2005, though he still rode his bike around the island and hosted what he called “Steve's Happy Hour” at his home on H Street.

That would be H Avenue, in Coronado CA.
