<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Marilee and Don were part of the Local Church Experiment. They worked in the LCX in Salt Lake City and were part of the Edmonton Religious House in Canada. John and I met them when they were in Iowa and we were in Kansas City and later
back in Chicago. Their teenaged daughter Mary Johnson was part of the Student House and later became a teacher with handicapped students at the time of her too early death in 1983.
<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Don and John shared an avid interest in golf as well as the Local Church. Our connections rekindled when John began his writing. Their work in local community has been legendary with both California politics, and environmental concerns.
I recall that Marileen and Don were part of the Campaign Managing team for John Gibson’s run for Mayor of Indianapolis. Marilee’s Christmas letters of all that she was doing with schools (she also was an educator) and local actions made me dub her as one
of the Energizer Bunnies. Don and Marileen were married for 70 years!!! <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u class=""></u> <u class=""></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Don may be reached at 2855 Carlsbad Blvd, Unit 323 S, Carlsbad, CA. 92008. Or by e-mail at
