JoMar is right. There is a Brownwood in Michigan, that was a business that Gary's sister Mary Lou Morse ran for years. She had bought it from hers and Gary's ancestors. This isn't a very good link, but shows the family connection. Her children are apparently still making the amazing donuts that she is famous for.

Whether it is donuts or houses the Morses business acumen is a family trait.
