Lou Johnson's memory from Memories of JJ
JJ used to tell me about being in Karate and his coach suggested that to become more agile in karate he should sign up for ballet. So he did and was the only male ballet member so he was always the one to do the lifts. He was very strong with his upper body which helped.
He was scheduled to be the Mouse King in the Nutcracker performance, until not long before the performance he had to tell them that he would not be able to do the performance as he was going to be on his mission. He only had like three weeks from the time that his mission call caught up with him as he was not living with his parents at the time.
