Rene and Ted- showing off the Johnson family good looks



Ted visited Rene in her flat - and we got this great picture.

Keep a look out for the TV drama 'The sinking of the Laconia' coming on UK TV sometime soon. It tells the fascinating story of the ship that was torpedoed when Uncle Ted was on board.

  2. Talking about the Laconia...I was watching TV in bed one night (in Raleigh, North Carolina) and one of the stations was doing a special on the Laconia. Uncle Jack had given me a book about it and I knew Uncle Teddy had sailed on it. As I was watching I was blown away because the next thing, Uncle Teddy was being interviewed. I jumped out of bed to get Roland so he could come and see. I couldn't believe it. Our Gegs later sent me the book that was written and had Uncle Teddy sign it. It is one of my 'treasures'.
