I wish I had known her longer. I believe she influenced the lives of many, many children -- either to become writers, to be lifelong lovers of books or simply by her kindness.... It would be wonderful to have a photo of Miss J!

I found 4 or 5 cards from Miss Johnson. She was our next door neighbor when I was about 3. There is a photo of my brother and me taken with her at the public library for a newspaper article. Two poems in her book Feather in My Hand were written about us. Until I moved back to the DFW area, I didn't know much about her. I am so glad to be able to look further into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-186795083060627407.post-24228068166326103562012-09-09T16:34:55.837-07:002012-09-09T16:34:55.837-07:00When I was little, my mother, brother and I lived ...When I was little, my mother, brother and I lived next door to Miss Johnson. She wrote a poem for each of us that was published around 1964 or 65. This past weekend I was going through some old things my Mom put away for me and I found several cards she had written little stories in and signed. I also have a picture of her with my brother and me in the library. I've been looking for her for years and only this weekend realized I was spelling her first name wrong. I am so happy to be able to read about her.
