B...I appreciate the mention of your grandfather, J. Bryan III. His three books of miscellany, including "Hodgepodge," are among my very favorite books in the world; they have inspired me to seek out several of the volumes he quoted from. For years I wondered idly whether J. Bryan III was related to the writer C.D.B. Bryan, whose novel "Beautiful Women; Ugly Scenes" I read back in the 1980s; I only recently discovered that they were father and son. I very much admire the model of "men of letters" that your father and grandfather exemplified. Thank you for this post, and for your blog, which I intend to explore further.
