Ten people constitute three generations of HB's Johnson
family: grandparents Craig and Diane, the grown kids
Brad and Nicole Johnson and Joy and Zoran Forgiarini,
and the grandkids, Jadelyn and Kylie Forgiarini and
Danielle and Erin Johnson. And while they do not live in
the same house, they live close enough to each other in
HB that they could all live together!
Some of the family's
favorite places in HB are 301, Ruby's, and Smokin' Mo's.
They enjoy Tuesday nights on Main St . and like to bring
visitors there. They hang out at the beach and on the
pier. They ride bikes at the beach and go surfing. And
in a rare first and third generation only activity,
Grandma and Grandpa took the four grandchildren on the
train to San Diego. Using the famous SD trolley and a
convenient bus, they went to the San Diego Zoo. The
train, the trolley, the bus, and the zoo were all firsts
for the kids.
This is a family that
also caravans together. The adults have motor homes and
they have traveled to Bass Lake , Lake Topaz near the
Ca/Nev border, and Lake Buena Vista. They have also
shared a houseboat on Lake Shasta.
This is an Edison HS
family. They have been active supporters of EHS
football. Zoran teaches reading and coaches at Edison .
Diane has been a secretary at Edison for 30 years. And
Joy is a 2nd grade teacher, though not at Edison ! She
is at Perry Elementary School. Craig was a policeman in
Newport Beach and Orange for 15 years.
The Johnsons are a
happy family. And perhaps the happiest of them is 10
year-old Jadelyn. Last year Diane surprised her by
taking her to the American Idol finals!
