Curtis J. Johnson is a native of Port Barrow (later Donaldsonville), Louisiana. He attended Lowery Training School where he participated in drama productions and athletics, and learned to build furniture and houses.

Starting at age 12, Curtis began a series of diverse and rewarding work experiences, including grassing (pulling weeds from young) rice plants; selling vegetables and river shrimp; cutting and delivering firewood; wiring housed; working on construction sites preparing and carrying mortar to bricklayers and mixing, pouring, and finishing concrete; cultivation and propagating poinsettia plants; working as a service station attendant and as a bell hop at the local Hotel Donaldson.

Curtis attended Southern University in Baton Rouge beginning in 1950. He sang with the Men’s Glee Club, and was a member of the ROTC Precision Drill Team and the Industrial Arts Club. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Army Corps of Engineers in May, 1954. On August 7, 1954, he received the Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Arts and Technical Education with a teaching certificate. He was married to Elizabeth “Libby” Clarkson from Greenville, South Carolina on November 20, 1954.

Curtis chose a military career that took him and often his family to assignments in Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri; Ludwigsburg, Germany; Vitry-le-Francois, France; Ft. Riley, Kansas; Ft. Eustis, Virginia; Bupyong, Korea; Republic of Vietnam; Ft Lee, Virginia; Istanbul, Turkey; and Taegu, Korea. He completed 20 years of service and retired as a lieutenant colonel in August 1974.

In December 1974, Curtis earned the Master of Urban Affairs (public administration) degree from Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia. He worked as executive director of a regional governmental consortium (seven political jurisdictions) involved in employment development and on-the-job and trades training for low-income Virginians; and served as adjunct faculty member at Golden State University, Hampton Institute (later University) and Thomas Nelson Community College, all located in the Virginia Peninsula area. He served on many local, regional and state service boards and agencies, and received Governor’s Distinguished Service Awards from two Governors. He also serves as a member of the Virginia War Memorial Board. Curtis is the father of Kirk A. Johnson of Oxford, Mississippi, and Janet. Johnson Gaskins of Accokeek, Maryland. He is called “Gramps”by one grandson, Drew Johnson Gaskins, and two granddaughters, Sydney Clarkson Gaskins and Olivia Champion Johnson.
