“What is all the fuss about? I was only doing my job!”. By Katherine G. Johnson
Katherine Johnson Remembered…!
We are now commemorating the 2nd anniversary of Katherine Johnson’s departure. It hardly seems that two years have passed since February 24, 2020. Her life was very meaningful to so many. 
The country continues to find ways to honor her work and life with buildings, numerous school facilities, conference rooms, and streets now bearing her name. The influence and impact she had on young lives while still living has continued with growing interest and appreciation.
Hardly a week passes without someone asking or reminding me of Aunt Katherine. Sometimes I will receive news clippings or articles from people who want me to know about some new honor being bestowed. Sometimes, I am informed by someone local that they once resided in the Hampton, Virginia area and was well familiar with the Katherine Johnson story.
One of my favorite quotes belonging to Aunt Katherine that says so much about her devotion to her job and her purpose is “What is all the fuss about? I was only doing my job!”.
This simple quote reflected Aunt Katherine’s humility and confidence, self reliance and grit, and her backbone and nerve. These qualities were held up by her remarkable intellect.
Many of you have read or seen “Hidden Figures”. You will enjoy “My Remarkable Journey” if you have not already.
