^Y and CURT JOHNSON have been plunging into PKS activities all year while
their house has been under construction, so it is almost with amazement that
we discover they have not been officially interviewed by the Shoreline.
Anyway, they arrived last November after Curt retired from Mobil Oil after
33 years. His final stint with Mobil took them to England, right outside
London, for three and a half years. They have three children: two girls
and a boy, all married - and ti^ro grandchildren, 8 and 11. They moved into
their new home on Loblolly on May l8 and are, of course, still surround^'^ by
workmen, but undaunted, Kay plays the violin (played in a string trio and
orchestra in England, plays vdth the newly organized orchestra here), she
likes to read, does "some gardening'*, is taking tennis lessons. Curt is
really into gardening, plays tennis, is a good cook and a good bridge player,
and hopes to find a sailboat. Both love to travel and plan to do more
after they are completely settled in.
Speaking of the Carteret Community Orchestra, which we were, indirectly,
when we spoke of Kay’s participation in it, that group is looking for more
players - they can use almost any instrument you can think of, so crawl up
o your atbic or into that oack closet and find your old clarinet or trumpet
and start making music again. Kay says to call her if you are at all in
terested (72S-I897) and she idll tell you when the next rehearsal is. They
have been meeting every other Tuesday at St, Paul’s Episcopal Church in Beau
fort for about an ^our and a half. By the way, they v/oiil'd be delighted to
see a conductor, too, preferably one v.dth a bunch of leadership qualities as
well as a baton.
