Johnson: Freeway (inaudible). Traffic was pretty reasonable. Not like it is today, bumper to bumper, but by the time I retired in 1985 it was getting like that. They had started on the new highway. Interviewer: (inaudible) Johnson: No, I commuted. Again, my oldest daughter graduated about that time. I wasn’t sure that they were all going to go here. We didn’t do too much talking about where. We just knew that go somewhere. Of course, she went to Houston at first. I had one to go up to North Texas. Interviewer: In Denton? Johnson: Mmm-hmm. Interviewer: I went there. Johnson: She’s in Dallas now. She got hooked up on that part of the country. Interviewer: What did you teach at Texas Southern? Johnson: I was in education. Basically guidance, training counselors. Interviewer: And you said you retired in 1985? So, you were there thirteen years? That sound about right? Johnson: Right.
