Schooner C. A. Thayer
The C. A. Thayer is a wooden-hulled, three masted schooner with a long and colorful history. The last of her kind afloat on the West coast, the C. A. Thayer has hauled lumber, fish, coal, and war materials. She has survived 2 near sinkings and at nearly 100 years old requires much work to prevent her loss to wood rot.

Al Morton
"SAD NEWS REPORT
The Thayer Family and the Thayer Families Association has lost one of its most outstanding members. Albert Thayer Morton was born 1 September 1939 in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, the son of Harry Thayer Morton and Marjorie Anna Williams. He sadly passed away at age 77 on 17 December 2016 in Monroe county, NY after surgery. "Al" had been ill for the last several years. He was the grandson of Fannie Estelle Thayer (1879-1961) and Albert Edward Morton. He was my early correspondent from in 1990's and I had nominated him for a position in the TFA and he became Membership Chairman in 1995. He became president of the TFA in 1996, and held that position until 2000, when Ralph Clinton Thayer became president. Al then became president again in 2002. He retired in 2006 due to health issues. He was among my strongest supporters and had it not been for his efforts and encouragement, I doubt I could have progressed in my Thayer Family History and publishing endeavors without his help. Al helped tremendously in laying the groundwork for the wonderful association that we enjoy today.
Al's lineage:
Albert Thayer MORTON 11 (Harry Thayer MORTON 10, Fannie Estella 9, George Washington 8, Artemas 7, Asahel 6, Jonathan 5-4-3, Ferdinando 2, Thomas 1) THAYER
On behalf of all the entire Thayer family, we owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude. We love you Al and will miss you. Until we meet again - Patricia"
