A year prior to the project, I became acquainted with Stan Johnson, who is a great-grandson of John A. Johnson, the founder of Fuller & Johnson Mfg. Co. Stan was very interested in what our club was doing as some of the Johnson family members wanted to create a memorial to John A. Johnson and the company. Needless to say, our fundraising received a sizable boost as several members of the family donated to the project.

Right on schedule
With the plan approval, site preparation, slab and building design complete, and funds raised, it was time to begin the building. This work was done by volunteer club members as well as family and friends. About 10 weeks after they started the building, it was up and ready for the annual show in August.

There were many, many volunteer hours spent working on the building. Several club members, in particular, worked most every day. When finished, it was great to hear Jim McGhee express his appreciation for all the help and how well they worked together on the project. Everyone involved agreed they had fun working on it.

We would like to invite all F&J enthusiasts to visit the new building at the 2009 Badger Steam and Gas Engine show, Aug. 21-23. Stan is also making plans for another Fuller & Johnson rally at the show in 2010. Watch for details on this event and we’ll see you at the museum!
