From Gail Johnson Holland:
The two Gails had a wonderful visit in honour of their upcoming 70th birthdays. We had marathon yaking fests. We are fine and so are the husbands. We have very much enjoyed good health, happy retirement and good times.

Gail Tierney Griffith Visits Gail Johnson in London!





My husband Hoyt, our great niece AnnMarie, and I've just come back from two weeks in Dublin and London, with a lovely visit with Gail Johnsen and her husband Tony Holland sandwiched in between the two cities. Not only do Gail and I share our first names, but our birth month ~ November~ which we have been celebrating with cards and telephone calls for many years. We will be 70 shortly and it was my turn to visit. We made the most of the time catching up, especially chatting about those days at Sachem that brought us together and nurtured this lifetime friendship. A highlight of the visit was the chance to meet Gail's granddaughters, Destiny, Faith, and Hope ~ three delightful bundles of energy. The youngest, Hope, shares her grandmother's flair for the dramatic! It was Mrs. Johnsen who took Gail, her sister Judy, and lucky me to New York City to see our first Broadway show Pajama Game for our 15th birthdays. That kindness ignited a lifetime love of the theater in me. Now we are looking forward to Gail and Tony visiting us in Hendersonville, NC, sometime soon.
