MY DAD, BOB JOHNSON, REPAIRED THE ROOF AND PAINTED THE WATER TOWER A DARK GREEN BACK IN 55 OR 56. HE RIGGED UP A BOSEN CHAIR TO GO UP AND DOWN AND SPRAY THE TOWER. I STILL REMEMBER HE WORE A SAILORS WHITE HAT INSIDE OUT TO COVER HIS HEAD. HE WORKED THERE FOR MANY YEARS STARTING IN 1939. HIS BROTHER, FATHER FRED JOHNSON, MY UNCLE WAS AT ONE TIME THE PREFECT AT THE SCHOOL. HE IS NOW BURIED IN THE CEMETARY OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE TOWER. FATHER FRED GAVE ME MY FIRST HAIRCUT IN HIS ROOM IN THE (NOW GONE) ADMIN BUILDING WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS OLD.
THERE ARE MANY MANY MEMORIES IN MY FAMILY OF THE SALESIAN SCHOOL.
THANKS FOR LETTING ME SHARE ON THIS SITE.
