Also off-topic but I decided to look up Mr. Lapham, who is 81 years old, and started clicking through the Wikipedia articles of his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather (in this order, below) - all of them prominent men. ____ - Lewis Abbot Lapham (1909 – 1995) was an American shipping and banking executive. Lapham worked as a journalist, columnist, and editor for the San Francisco Examiner for six years. - Roger Dearborn Lapham (1883 – 1966) was a shipowner and businessman who served as the 32nd mayor of San Francisco from 1944 to 1948. - Lewis Henry Lapham (1858 – 1934) was an American entrepreneur who made a fortune consolidating smaller business in the leather industry. He was also one of the founders of Texaco Oil Company. He was also actor Christopher Lloyd's maternal grandfather. - Henry Griffith Lapham (1822 - 1888) I could only find the information in the image (http://i.imgur.com/WH2wd0m.png http://i.imgur.com/WH2wd0m.png), but it seems to point to him also being successful in the leather business.
