We call them Wake's finest and they are. Today the Police Chief, Greg Harrington, informed us of the effort by their men and women of the Wake Forest Police Dept. to raise money for the Cotton Company, GJCAE cold pack program for our U.S. troops.
As always these acts represent what we are most proud of in this community, associating with those who try to help others. What a treat to be around such fine folks.!!!

GJCAE Pedicab in Christmas Parade
The Johnson family, all but the husband who pedaled most of the way, rode in the pedicab in the wonderful downtown Wake Forest Christmas Parade this past Saturday. The husband, Bob, pedaled most of the way but the lungs and energy were gone by the time the hill creeped up on Brooks street. Wife, Liza the Jane, had to jump out and push while the two sisters, Paige and Janna cheered her on.
Wonderful event, largest Xmas parade ever for Wake Forest and nice way to see the fine folks of the community.
Pedicab was sponsored by The Cotton Company, Festival Park and HerbFest.

Welcome To Graham Johnson Cultural Arts Endowment ( GJCAE) Blog
Our family and friends thank you for taking the time to visit with us. The support of Franlin Academy and their staff and students has been so wonderful supporting our efforts to take the tragic sucicide of our son and attempt to mold it into benefical results for our community.
We've tried to stress that "life is for the living" and not just talked the talk, but walked the walk by living by example. We all grieve but we also know our dedication is to those who walk the same paths we do each and every day. The grass will never be greener and more bountiful than it is today, under our feet. We do not wait for tomorrow as that may never come, the past is for learning and profiting from our experiences, we take the present and make it better for as many as we can.
The GJCAE is about that collective effort and spirit.
