Nancy L Wuollet Johnson

Doug and I will be married 50 years in September. He enlisted in the army in 1966, and we lived in Alexandria, Virginia, and Lawton, Oklahoma, and were able to meet in Honolulu, before we came back to Crystal. I volunteered as a La Leche League group leader for 26 years, raised our three children, and worked part time here and there. In 1996 I went to work at Brookdale Library as a clerk. The library system needed people to help patrons and staff with all the new technology - email, scanning, Facebook, e-readers, - plus work with the new, automated, materials handling systems. I trained to become a Library Tecnical Assistant, and loved almost every bit of that job for the last 12 years of my "working" life.

Candy Wolfe and I signed up to work on the property crew for "Guys and Dolls" January of our sophmore year. Our first task was to make red and white carnations for Nathan Detroit's men. Candy went on to play Juliet opposite Ray Stadum's Romeo, and Marian's mother in "The Music Man". I was happy to be on the prop crew - first the scavenger hunt to get eveything together, then the excitement of the shows, finally the satisfaction of being in on something really worthwhile, and memorable. (and I met Doug)

I had a great time with Candy at our 25th reunion, and spent a day with her that week, visiting with my mother and her dad. She lived in Chicago and died the following year of cancer. I've always been so thankful for that time we spent together. It was our class reunion that brought us back together.
