John C. Crews Today
Like many other veterans of WWII, John used the G.I. Bill to get a college education. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma School of Pharmacy, and in 1960, moved to the West Texas city of Odessa to pursue his American Dream of owning his own drug store. At one time, he and his partner owned and operated five drug stores in Odessa and nearby towns.
He and Jo raised three children, and they have five grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.
In the late 1980's, a store fire prompted John to sell out to his partner and move to Lake LBJ, near the capital city of Austin. They enjoyed the lake house until the early '90's, when they decided to move to Georgetown, just north of Austin, where they live today.
One of John's passions –
His
Honda GoldWing cycle!
– but, Jo will always be his first passion!
