Parley Philip

Happy Easter from the Parley Johnson, Jr. family!



Parley Johnson (Parley Philip , Jr.) and wife Callie sent us these photos of their sons Luke McIntyre Johnson (desert fatigues) and Parley Philip (“Tracy”) Johnson, III, with his sister Callie Elizabeth “Beth” Johnson Graham. They also included a snap of their grandson Kaden Michael Graham (son of Joey and Beth Graham.) Kaden is really enjoying his Easter!

Both Luke and Tracy serve in the United States Marine Corps and will be deployed overseas. Tracy is already in Bosnia and Luke will soon be in the war zone in Afghanistan. Their brother-in-law, Joey Graham, is also a Marine. He returned home from service in Iraq just about one year ago.

News re the family of Uncle Philip & Aunt Christine

We’ve received a very newsy letter from Parley Philip Johnson, Jr. (son of Parley Philip, Sr. and Christine Fail Johnson - Uncle Philip and Aunt Christine) regarding that family. Last Saturday, he and his brothers, Seth Herbert and David Henry, and his nephew Brady (David’s son) met at their sister Carol Johnson Blair’s house for a short visit. They then went to Auburn for the Ball State vs. Auburn football game. Parley says,

We had a great time, food was good and AUBURN WON over Ball State!!!... It rained, but it only rained on the BALL STATE side of Jordan-Hare stadium. We really appreciated the fact that we were in the South Club since it was covered and prevented us from getting wet.

He also shared the following news about his brothers and sister, his mother (Aunt Christine), and his children - SGT. Parley Philip Johnson, III ( Tracey), CPL Luke McIntyre Johnson, and Callie Elizabeth Johnson Graham - and their families. Be sure to note new contact information. ... Read More...
