Gillian is the founder and president of The Katie Johnson Fellowship. Earlier she created, and directed for 25 years, Camp Jabberwocky’s 5 week June/July program. In the late 1960’s she developed the curriculum for and taught one of the first public school classes for Special Education in Wash.DC. Later she began a non-profit movie theatre and practiced as a physical therapist at Howard Univ. Hospital and in the MD and Wash.DC public school systems. Mostly retired, Gillian now directs The Wabe of Whidbey Island, delights in five grandchildren, and cares for a very spoiled horse, Rennie. She and her husband, Alan, live half the year in Seattle and half on Martha’s Vineyard, MA.
