Eric Fischer's Guitars
Eric is Shannon's oldest son. He has a love for music, and especially for collecting guitars. This is his collection.

Andy Fischer is the youngest son of Shannon Johnston. He has been Cameron Crowe's assistant, working on "Almost Famous" and "Vanilla Sky." In 2005 he was Associate Producer for "Elizabethtown." If you want to see the website for the producing company and learn about "Elizabethtown" (Cameron Crowe) click on Andy's face.

The story of the "Sarasota Premiere" is new in October 2005.
We saw a piece of "Vanilla Sky" being shot in New York, in November, 2000. If you want to see that, look under travel stories, New York.
There is a movie site that lists various productions people have worked in. Check out Andy.

Eric now has his own website to highlight music he wrote, performed and produced. Check it out: Eric's Website. He also has a new website for his profession: AutumnAudio.

Shannon Johnston — Recipe Collection
This is a collection of about 100 of Shannon's favorite all-time recipes. Feel free to look around and see how it's organized and to see if there are some recipes you might like to try.

Ken has a website for his book "Busting Bureaucracy." Copies of the condensation, the book itself, and an executive overview are all now free on the website.

Don Baumgart is Ken and Shannon's brother-in-law. He's a retired high school principal, and an extraordinary cartoonist who has illustrated lots of books. A few of his cartoons are here, from Ken's book. Because they were scanned, they don't have the clarity that his originals do.

Most of the time when they travel, Shannon writes a journal. In June of 2001 they traveled to London to do tourist stuff and to attend Wimbledon. Take a look if you want: WIMBLEDON June 2001

KRIKIT

MISSY's Calendar
Missy was the Johnston's dog, a bichon frise. She was very patient about wearing costumes, and "volunteered" to pose for a calendar. See the calendar, or if you'd like to see a little movie of her when she was a pup: MOVIE

Krikit is an American short hair (meaning who knows). This is her story. Or, if you want, watch a movie of her rolling over.

SHARON BAUMGART

On June 5th, 2002, Shannon's sister Sharon was died in an automobile accident. These are pictures from the family gathering that ensued.

See the animated amaryllis plant

Shannon had fun taking time-lapse pictures of a Christmas amaryllis plant opening from a bud to a full flower. She then animated it.

Ken and Shannon's friends', the Grants, have a daughter and son-in-law who own and operate a tropical fish farm. This is a tour through that farm, to see how the fish are raised. The Fish Farm

In April 2006, Shannon collected a group of tennis members' serves and put together a movie. If you'd like to see the movie: Tennis Serves

In September 2007 Shannon and Ken moved to a community called The Glenridge, in Sarasota, Florida. If you are interested in learning about it, feel free to visit: The Glenridge website. Ken started a blog about The Glenridge. You can read his latest two entries here, as well as visit the Glenridge Blog.
