Personal photos – Robin Johnson

Where is She Now?

Sean — Sat, 04 Oct 2014 16:39:18 +0000

Well, in November 2011, she was relaxing at home.

And where’s that? And what is she doing when she’s not relaxing?

Welllll… unfortunately, now that I’m “official,” and not trying to uncover a mystery, I’m no longer at liberty to disclose everything I know. And a lot of what I don’t know, I’m no longer entirely comfortable inquiring about. But, rest assured, she’s happy and healthy, overjoyed to be out of the spotlight, and touched and a little mystified that anyone remembers her.

And now that I hope I’ve established that yes, this site exists with her blessing, I’ll move on to the fun stuff.

8th Grade Graduation

In 1977, Robin graduated from St. Saviour elementary, and went on to Brooklyn Technical High School.

I know what you’re thinking… you’re thinking, “Wait a minute! There’s something wrong with your math. If she was born in May 1964, shouldn’t she have left 8th grade in 1978?” Yes, except for one thing: when Robin was 7 years old, she was smarter than you, and she skipped the 3rd grade.

So, she went on to Brooklyn Technical High School for a couple years… and then things got interesting.

The original photo was owned by Robin’s paternal grandmother, and is now owned by Robin’s Aunt Justina.

Post edited on 11 March 2015 to correct the date from 1978 to 1977 and add the explanation of the skipped grade, which I had somehow forgotten when I first wrote the post.

Robin Johnson was born May 29, 1964.

Robin Johnson, age 1?

This 1965 photograph shows Robin at approximately one year old. The original photo was owned by Robin’s paternal grandmother, and is now owned by Robin’s Aunt Justina.

Edit 21 October 2023: Aunt Justina passed away in 2018. I have no idea what happened to any of the originals of the items she’d shared with me.
