My father was Dr Leland R Johnson phd. He knew foster and creighton, and mr creighton lived just behind us, in hermitage Tn, (we were on plantation drive) so they would have discussions and share info.  Foster and creighton were given their name on a road sign, in the berry hill area of nashville.   foster and creighton are also mentioned in dads logs/pending memoir. Dad was an author and wrote on the Parks of nashville, the Parthenon, (his book on this was sold in the Parthenons gift shop) plus other books, in particular for the corps of engineers, and on oak ridge. Dad was also friends with Jim (James) t siburt, another notable nashvillian, who worked as librarian for the Corps and became a novelist, crediting dad for being his “mentor” dad passed in 2014 and is buried in Westmoreland tenn where he lived out his last years.
