Johnny P. Johson, this is a demonstration of an interview with Johnny P. Johnson, artist, teacher and humanitarian, who moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1959 to teach art at the Walker-Grant High School. What began as a job evolved into a†life commitment to family, church,†community, and art. There are a few people in recent years who have had†so†profound an effect on this city. There is no one who has so deeply touched and influenced so many of us; neighbors, friends, artists, and students.
