…………………………ANNA JOHNSON……was a beautiful model that I used very often in my shows. She and Jac had a very similar look, height and size, and were often paired together on designer runways…..both in the US, and Europe. They also belonged to the same agencies…The photo of her to the extreme left was taken of  Anna at one of my fall shows……Anna married a very handsome man, who was also a very successful model named Scott Connell. I swear he must have a portrait in his attic, because besides a few gray hairs….he looks exactly the same. They moved out to California, and started a family…….three boys!!! THREE HANDSOME BOYS!!! but how could they go wrong coming from that gene pool!…….On one of Jac and my trips to California we were staying at the SHUTTERS HOTAL in Santa Monica, located right on the beach. Jac had invited Anna and her boys to spend the day with us by the pool at the hotel. They were all very young and Evan was a toddler…..While Jac and Anna caught up I kept the boys busy….and happy….in the pool. I don’t know who had the better time…..the boys or me!!!!!??? Anna sent me a Christmas card this year with ALL of their pictures and family pets on it….[excluding the photo at the left of Anna in my show]………..I can’t believe how those little BLOND California boys turned into such handsome young men….The handsome didn’t surprise me at all. With parents like theirs and the way they all looked back then….I knew they would be incredible looking when they grew up……They are all over 6 feet, and look like Vikings. Anna is Swedish and Scott is Scottish….I’ve seen pictures through the years, but somehow these hit me!…….There they are with big smiles on their faces with either their girlfriends or wives????!!!!…..Starting at the middle top left….Anna and Scott, both looking happy and fabulous….the photo at the top next to them, is their oldest son Ian with Lindsay……below left, the middle son Aidan with Rachael, and the photo at the bottom right is the baby….Evan with Kayla. I spent most of the day in the pool with Evan. He just didn’t want to get out…not even for lunch! I can’t believe how much they have grown! Anna and Scott must be so proud of their boys!!!!! I know they were very hands on and involved parents…..good for them…..I only wish Jac were here to see these photos….her good friend Anna and Scott and the boys…..She would be beaming!
