Bill and Pamela Johnson were our neighbors for the first few years we lived in Mebane. We joined them for one of their family dinners, at which we (and my cousin André Duvall) met their children – Bill’s daughter Jen and son Nick, Pam’s son Luke Brouillard and daughter Eileen Gabrielli (and her husband Joe). And the Johnsons (along with neighbors Steve and Kathy Laughead) attended the party my wife threw for my 70th birthday.
What doesn't kill you....
Nick Johnson, the son of a friend of ours here in North Carolina, suffered the end of a romantic relationship last year. Having met Katie, we could appreciate what the break-up likely meant to Nick. So, some months later, we approached Nick about an interview on the aftermath. He kindly agreed. [Our questions are in italics.]
Nick, we believe that you and Katie had developed a pretty solid relationship of some years, is that correct? You shared a domicile and so on, perhaps pooled your funds? Please describe your relationship, so we know what we're dealing with here.
