"Meet Your Neighbors in CFP" 

Carlton Johnson
 

Carlton Johnson has just retired from the CFPIA Board of Trustees.  A big THANK YOU goes out to him for his many, many years of service to this neighborhood and community.  We thought he would be perfect for our first interview in this newsletter.  

Here's what Carlton had to say:

1) How long have you lived in Common Fence Point? 37 years

2) How is it different now than when you moved here?

In 37 years, many additional homes have been constructed, gravel pit filled in,
playground constructed, neighborhood parks established and CRMC is now taking a more active role in monitoring the natural resources for the enjoyment of all residences.

3) What would you like to see happen in the future for this neighborhood?

 I would like all Common Fence Point residents to join the Improvement Association and support the various projects including funding of Community Hall side and roof shingle replacement, lighting etc.

4) What are a few of your fondest memories? Jackie and I raising our two sons in a wonderful, safe community, improvements to our home, meeting neighbors and enjoying retirement.
 

5) In a couple of sentences, how do you spend your time these days?

 I continue to be involved with numerous military associations,
scouting programs, CFPIA, church activities and working in our yard and garden. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5390 continues to assist veterans throughout the area and as Post Senior Vice Commander, I am involved with most projects.

6) If we ran into you on the street or popped in on you unexpectedly at your home, what would you likely be doing?

  Probably working in our yard and garden and planning to prepare dinner when Jackie teaches piano, helping clean house, reading latest book about history or working at the VFW assisting other veterans. I may also be assisting other prostate cancer patients with knowledge and support to them and their families with me living with prostate cancer since 1998 due to the presumed exposure to Agent Orange during 1967 combat operations  on board USS Barney (DDG-6) in the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam. You may also find me attending church on Sunday and participating in weekly bible sessions at church.
