Wylie P. Johnson treasures Shrine affiliation
23/02/10 17:22
Wylie Pierson Johnson (Uncle Wylie) treasures his affiliation over many years with two Shrine Temples in Alabama. Shriners International is “a fraternity based on fun, fellowship and the Masonic principles of brotherly love, relief and truth.” The organization is well known for its 22 Shriners Hospitals for Children throughout North America that help children with orthopedic problems and burn injuries. Of his years in the Shrine, Uncle Wylie writes,Click here or photo of WPJ above right for more photos. ...I was a Noble in the Zamora Shrine Temple in Birmingham 1956-1980. I was Director of the Zamora Greeters Unit 1957 and 1958 and in the Zamora Circus Unit 1960 to 1976 when I moved to Montgomery. I transferred my membership to Alcazar [Shrine in Montgomery] about 1980, but did not transfer it back to Zamora when I came back to Birmingham.

Snow comes to Birmingham!
16/02/10 21:16
We shared the photos from Benjamin Seth Johnson of the big snow that hit D.C. in the first week of February 2010. Well, it turns out that Birmingham, AL got its share the next week. No, it wasn’t the massive storm that hit the mid-Atlantic, but still enough to slow things down a bit so that we had a little “Winter Wonderland” of our own. Wylie Pierson Johnson (Uncle Wylie) and his daughter Melanie Fay Johnson shared these photos of the 3”-4” snow that fell at their home, Carmichael Hall, atop Shades Mountain in Vestavia. The snow fell on Friday, 12 February 2010. These photos were taken at 0700 the next morning, Saturday, 13 February. ...Read More...
A Snowy Wonderland in D.C.
08/02/10 14:30
Over much of the Mid-Atlantic, Mother Nature has dressed the landscape in soft white and sparkling crystal. Yes, this snow can be treacherous, but it is oh so beautiful! While many bemoaned the drudgery of digging out and trudging through, at least one Johnson cousin saw the beauty of it, enjoyed it, and shared it. These photos were made by Benjamin Seth Johnson in the Soapstone Valley. It is an area of Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C.. That’s right - in the District of Columbia - within the borders of our nation’s capitol! By the way, the lovely young lady in one of the photos is Seth’s fiance, Rebecca Wearb, See all Seth’s photos of Soapstone Valley here. Benjamin Seth Johnson is son of Wylie Benjamin and Jessica Henry Johnson and grandson of Wylie Pierson and Lurene Hall Johnson (Uncle Wylie and Aunt “Dolly”).
Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos, Seth! Stay warm! ...
