Grandma Johnson had us over for a nice corned-beef and cabbage dinner, to celebrate Grandpa Johnson's 90th birthday. Grandma has worked very hard to keep the memories alive and to help us understand our ancestory. We sang through the songs Dad would sing to us as we grew up. We caught the vision of detailed record keeping. Entries from Dad's journals were shared, one from now Prophet Thomas S. Monson who set Dad apart as Stake President in Boise, Idaho.
When asked what advice Dad would give us as a faithful, enduring to the end father, he raised his arm pointing upward and said, "Stay on the road, Stay on the road, Stay on the road", (Which road), "The road to Right". What great advice from our 90 year old Father and grandfather, who has stayed on the road.
