Morgan's grandma is Rose who worked at the medical clinic for many years with Kermit, Dr. Gene and Henry, the pharmacist. Her mother, Lee Lee, graduated in 1963 from Washington and was one of United's first black flight attendants. She recently retired after 35 years.
Rose instilled in her daughters an incredible work ethic. She is proud of all her daughters (Lee Lee, Coochie and Ann). We are all proud of our Washington roots and all the people in the community who helped raise us. "It takes a village"
