Joe2 Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Mike Johnson, born in the mid-50s has spent His whole life and career on the Central Coast of California. He taught various subjects including Math and History in both Public Schools and the State Prison system. As a historian and researcher he has co authored six books on marble history. For 38 years Mr.Johnson has been selling Marbles at SUNSET DRIVE INN @ the same spot, spot # E3o. The drive-in opens at 4:30 for vendors. During this time he made many friends, given marbles away and sold marbles for almost nothing. He will be miss Mr Mike Johnson. Thank you Mike for all the happy thoughts & joy you brought to our children. Now retired from the swap meet in SLO (San Luis Obispo), you can still find marbles very close to where Mike use to be. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
