"My heart is in the work."
The photograph above shows my father, Dennis C. Johnson, working at Fort Mifflin during World War II. Pop taught me and my brothers, Dennis Jr. and Marvin, the value of hard work, exemplified by the motto of my alma mater - Carnegie Mellon University. Pop would have loved it.
I frequently exploit Pop's story-telling genius in my short stories, including one titled Shoes Don't Make the Player published in the IWN Sea Change anthology. If you've ever worn US KEDS or Chuck Taylor All Stars you'll want to read that story. Check out my blog page for periodic stories about Pop and others who enrich my life.
