----------
From DeWayne B. Johnson on 15 Jun 2010:
I think my nickname "Doc" dates back at least 75 years, perhaps to 1935. I was 15 years old. My older brother Clifford and I worked on my uncle's (George M. Talbot Dairy) dairy ranch in Burbank. Neither of us milked cows but we did almost everything else -- washing bottles, pasteurizing and bottling milk, churning of buttermilk, pitching hay, mucking out the muck, and much more. Clifford called me "Doc" and I called him "Joe." Uncle George had a hay ranch out east (?) of Lancaster and pasture land down near Irvine. I rode mules and horses in the course of my work. Fell off more than once, brushed off by low-hanging branches. Otherwise, I am no horseman!
Clifford's nickname never stuck, but mine remained with me even up to today! I earned a real doctorate at UCLA in mass communications and education in 1955. Throughout my professional career as a journalist and professor of journalism, my colleagues and students have hailed me as "Doc." They still do. It feels good to be one of them and not an outsider!
I run the risk of bragging a bit -- two Pulitzer Prizes with a select few on the LATimes editorial staff, and twice honored by the California Publishers Association as THE outstanding professor of journalism in the state of California. (Oh, I am shameless!) So I may be something of a legend, my ego says, but that truly remains to be seen.

From Mark Johnson 13 May 2012:
"Dorothy married John Volkmann, an engineer at RCA, who was
a designer of sound systems in numerous arenas, including
the sound system at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.
and the Mann Center in Philadelphia.
"They lived in Princeton and my memory as a child was that
Dorothy and Lorene and Harry and John went everywhere and
did everything together.
"As an aside, when John Volkmann passed away, Dorothy wanted
to remain on her own in Princeton. So my father Jack (the only child
of Clarence, Dorothy and Lorene) fixed her up in an apt right
across from the university. I helped move Dorothy in (I was
in my early 20s) and would occasionally go visit Dorothy to see
how she was. I walked in one day and siting in her kitchen, eating
lunch with her, was Brooke Shields, who attended Princeton and
lived in the building. Dorothy had no idea who she was, I mean none,
but I did. I visited Dorothy a lot more often after that and so there
we would sit, on several occasions, my slightly ditzy 80 year old aunt,
this huge celebrity (who really was very nice, especially to Dorothy), and
me, with visions of red carpets and celebrity in my future if only...........
oh well.......I still remember her eyebrows."
