     I have always been a fan of my Dad. I started this site as a student project when I was learning to become a webmaster at NYU. People had asked if I was going to continue with it. You only get one Dad and this one is mine (and my sister Christine's too!)so yes, I am going to continue the site.
     I shall be updating the site with my Dad's rather excellant and strangly dark poems. More short stories and as I peer into his computer, whatever else I might find of interest to fans of John M. Morton.
     I took the portrait of my Dad in the summer of 04. He didn't like it because he felt it showed too many lines, wrinkles and sags. When I was having it framed, another customer in the store remarked on it. I told her of my Dad's vain misgivings and she said, "I'll bet he earned every line and wrinkle." I believe he did.
     I hope you enjoy the site.
Sincerely,
John D. Morton
