Janet Kathern Scott Johnston
Janet Kathern Scott
The fourth child of Ada and Scotty, born in 1951 into the world her parents built out of dust, coal dust, and sixty years of love. Her marriage to Jerry joined two completely different family stories — the Johnston pioneers of Scotland and the Carolinas, and the Scott–Chiaretta immigrants of Colorado and Italy — into one family's inheritance.
