Eldridge Reeves Johnson IV

Post by dennis »

While searching Google for anything about ERJ, I saw that there is a Facebook page for one Eldridge Reeves Johnson IV. I wonder if he has any inkling about his great-great-grandfather(?), other than that he was rich? :D

His great-great-grandfather would probably turn in his grave knowing he's a Lady Gaga fan.

I am one of the great-great-grandsons of Eldridge Reeves Johnson. Most of us know a reasonable amount about him, he was an incredible human being. I sincerely hope this guy is not related to us

Also, I just found this forum. Kind of cool

Nah.

If Johnson was alive and Victor still running under his control, he'd want to get her on the company artist roster. As with a Melba or someone, she'd have made great publicity.
