at our last reunion. I have such fond memories of you and can still visualize your smile at good old CHS. Love, Cheri Cheri Holland Bridges (College Station, TX) July 19, 2007 Friends
& Family of Johnny -Living across the alley meant that we were often joined at the hip while growing up. A flood of often funny memories flooded me upon news of his death: (1) rigging
a device to drop things on you when you opened the back gate, (2) his joy at the 1959 Dave Brubeck album "Time Out" with "Take Five" and seeing Brubeck this year reminded me of Johnny's
jazz, (3) Mrs Badgett's famous kolaches (particularly the poppy seed open-faced ones), (4) swinging our feet under their 1950s chrome kitchen table, (5) Mrs. Badgett sitting with my
Grandmother Gay when she died in 1952, (6) a neighborhood television watch in the early 1950s on their n?ew black & white set, (7) visiting Johnny when he lived in The Netherlands,
(8) using the swing set in their back yard, (9) his amateur radio K5MVI, (10) Mary Frances & Richard, (11) Mr. Badgett whispering that his best investment was dropping a placesetttin
of their best China dishes b/c he never was allowed to clear the table or to wash dishes, and (12) listening to the Czech radio station on Sunday afternoons. We did a lot of fun, crazy
things when we were kids in CS...and a lot of serious ones. Love -David. David Gay (Fayetteville, AR) Contact me July 18, 2007 Johnny, My favorite memory of you was sitting on the piano
bench with you at Warren's one evening as you composed and played jazz. You were amazing! I am so glad you came to the last reunion and we all got a chance to visit with you. I am blessed
for having known you.
Love, Max margaret griffith (college station, TX) July 18, 2007 Johnny, You were my date to the FHA banquet when you were voted our sweetheart...I was so lucky to spend the evening with

visitsto the scuba shop these last years. You always had a new project going that you would share the details of with us. You enjoyed your travel adventures and shared those with us.
I am so glad you attended the last reunion at my house. You told me how much you enjoyed seeing and visiting with everyone there even though you got a little stressed. You overcame and
had a good time. For many that will be the last memory of you. You were truly multitalented and highly intelligent. I always enjoyed the visits because you made me think about new and
different things. I know God will bless you for your devotion to your mother. Russell Russell Hanna (College Station) Contact me July 18, 2007 Johnny, What fun we had at Guion Hall sitting
