Brown, Edwin Lyle: - Edwin Lyle Brown is a retired Computer Scientist who has lived in the same house, in Morganza, LA, with his wife and family for nearly half a century. Over the course of this time period, he developed a deep interest in the past life of the Village. Then approximately ten years ago, as a member of the Morganza Cultural District, Lyle (he prefers his middle name) was invited to produce a work on the history of the place. Intrigued, he accepted. Mr. Brown was not a novice to writing. Over the course of his career, he had produced literally thousands of pages of, proposals and project documentation. His professional writing culminated with the publication of 802.1x Port-based Authentication. The book was a critical success if not an exciting topic to the general public. Lyle dived whole heartedly into the research of the history he was writing. He collected so much material that his wife threatened to discard it. Fortunately, he found reasonable storage while condensing the many pounds of documents into Morganza-A Remarkable Place.
