Father’s day, June 21, 2009, master stone mason, Jimmy Carter Center, father, grandfather, backyard makeover, preview

Laurens Johnson is a master stone mason, but he is also a father, grandfather, Army veteran, hard worker and role model. The more we talk to Laurens (Larry) the more we are impressed at his work ethic and his sincere desire to pass his skills on to the younger generations. Larry was the star of a preview on TV Showz Net, but hopefully we can do a documentary about this remarkable man, who sadly, as an anachronism, is a reminder of the hard working generations of the past.

From Youtube:

“This TV Showz Net video started out as a preview for a new Garden Channel series about a major backyard makeover. The first phase of the project that was designed by a professional landscape designer, is a circular patio area in the rear of the yard. What started out as just a new internet TV show preview ended up being a tribute to
the master stone mason who is also a father, grandfather, Army veteran and hard worker. We were aware of the quality of his work and knew that we were fortunate to’
secure his services, but after talking to him for a few minutes we were in for quite a surprise. Mr. Laurens Johnson, the stone mason, worked on the Jimmy Carter Center in Georgia for eight years and had many conversations with former president Carter.
Mr. Johnson worked all day today, Father’s Day, and it was his idea, not ours. This video is dedicated to Mr. Laurens Johnson, a hard working father and role model for many Americans.

 

Stay tuned for the backyard makeover series on TV Showz Net.”
