For those of you out in St. Paul, you probably know Bessie Mae Johnson and her family. For those of you in Oakwood, you know her by her children, her grandkids, and her great-grandbabies. Some of her "greats" are still in school at Oakwood. There's Dominic Johnson, Janna Campbell, Bobbye Freeman, Saqqara Forte, and Jacquez Forte. Well, did you know she celebrated her 91st birthday this week? Oh, yes she did. (Now, if you ask her, she turned 19.) Well, her family threw her a ol' big party to celebrate this momentous occasion. Family came in from all over. They had a ton of food, two cakes (one with her picture on it) and took a lot of pictures. Happy Birthday Mrs. Bessie Mae! And may many more happy times come your way.
