Which Reminds Me

Yes, well, moving along, digging deeper into the Dwight hole, we find that Henry Dwight, although born in Turkey, after a long missionary career, retired later to New Jersey. He had a large family, having had three wives, two of whom presumably died in Turkey, and several daughters, but only one son who survived to adulthood, Harison (Harri-On?) Griswold, not to be confused with his grandfather Harrison Gray. 

The son Harrison also wrote various books about Constantinople. Ok, fine, whatever. Myself not having been aware of the existence of these persons until quite recently, I can only say that I have never spoken a word in the Turkish language and so cannot claim to be that illusrious translator. 

So there is an interesting configuration of Byzantine mysteries, upon which I have no reason co comment, so cannot understand why I should care about the idiotic commentaries of Mr. Hard Knocks, a person completely unknown and of no interest to me.
