MY NAME IS GALE CANNING JOHNSON. MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER WAS ARTHUR FRANCIS CANNING BORN
1914 WITH A SISTER NAMED HELEN GERTRUDE BORN 1916 (ACCORDING TO 1920 CENSUS FOR MASS).
THE CENSUS SHOWS HIS FATHER AS JOHN C CANNING AND GRANDMOTHER AS ANNIE M CANNING. MY
FATHER DESERTED MY SISTER, BROTHER AND I AFTER I WAS BORN. HE MARRIED MY MOTHER IN 1939
IN MALDEN, MA. MY SISTER AND BROTHER WERE BOTH BORN IN MALDEN, MA. I REMEMBER MEETING MY
FATHER WHEN I WAS 9. HE MOVED US BACK TO MA AND WE LIVED ON BASE AT FT DEVENS. MY
PARENTS DIVORCED BY THE TIME I WAS 10. I KNOW NOTHING OF HIS FAMILY AND WOULD LIKE TO
KNOW. I DO KNOW HE WAS IN A REFORM SCHOOL BY 1930 CENSUS.
