We have received news that Orson Alexander "Alex" Johnson has been diagnosed with throat cancer. He was recently operated on to remove his thyroid. He is currently at home, but his doctor says "no visitors." He will soon return to the hospital in Montgomery, AL for further treatment. He will not be allowed visitors there either.

Alex is the son of Orson Alexander, Sr. and Louise Pierce Johnson (Uncle Pete and Aunt Louise). Although he is not allowed visitors, we're sure that he would appreciate a card or letter and, most especially, your prayers. Family members can write to Alex at:

Mr. Alex Johnson
827 Williamsburg Dr.
Pike Road, AL 36064

You are in our prayers, Alex. We are wishing you a sure and rapid recovery! Read More...

Uncle Wylie shared the following news he received from Terry Johnson, wife of Andy Johnson (Orson Alexander Johnson, III). Andy is the son of Orson Alexander “Alex” Johnson, Jr. and his first wife Brenda Fay Talley and grandson of Orson Alexander and Ibernia Louise Pierce Johnson (Uncle Pete and Aunt Louise).

Everyone here is well.  Andy is still working pretty steadily.  Alex and Andy are hoping to be able to plant green fields soon.  Andy will be ready to pull his bow out on Oct. 15.  The big boys (Corey & Doug) are doing fine.  Corey will be going to Indianapolis for the FFA convention in a couple of weeks and will be in Birmingham for the Robotics competition in two weeks.  Amber and Andrew are doing well with their sitter and both growing more and more everyday.  Brenda (Andy's mother) is still recovering from her surgery but has gone back to work and seems to be okay.  I stay busy between work (teaching), house keeping, and children but am very thankful to have all to keep me busy.

(FYI, the original message was written on or before 29 September 2010. The web editor is late posting.)

Thanks for the family update, Terry! Glad to hear that you and Andy and the children are doing well! Family members can contact Terry and Andy at terryj(at)autaugacountyschool(dot)org.
