Henry S. Johnson moved out and lived across the street from us in Van Nuys, California. I heard that his wife, Leona, just died recently at 100 years old. (She was pretty and dark. I have a picture of a group of women including her, Maude, and Roxina (Sina), Esther, and some others that I don't recognize.) They had a son, Ted, daughter, Shirley, and a son, Bobby. Shirley married an Italian named Cosmo Pizzo. They divorced after quite a long marriage and she re-married, but I don't remember the new name. Uncle Henry was a tease and I liked him.
