Meeting up with the Johnsons





Meeting up with the Johnsons
Tracie and I are finished our event. I am going to meet up with Brian Johnson who has travelled to Australia with his family to compete in these games. His mixed partner dropped out at the last minute and so he and I decided to compete in two doubles events ( 35-40 and 40-45). We see former world champions from all over the world participating but mostly they are Asians. We are truly a minority being some of the only white people here.
Brian and I run into each other and quickly decide to get the families together. His wife Jean has much in common with Tracie and their two boys Matt and Jack are 13 and 12 and got along with our kids like a glove and hand. The girls were evaluating the Johnson boys as potential futures and the boys were only interested in playing rugby, surfing, swimming, and reciting Russel Peters comedy routines to each other. In short, they are a great family, great people and great kids and a pleasure to get to know them a little better as travelling with people can only do.
