'The Rebel Coat' documents SD couple's Cold War trip to RussiaJanet Johnson wrote poems about her experiences during her trip to the Soviet Union in the 1970s. Now, her writing is out of the drawer and published in a new book.

Janet & Carter Johnson
50 years later after their first trip to the USSR in 1974.

The Rebel Coat focuses on their 1975 scientific and cultural six-month unprecedented journey of 20, 000 miles throughout the Soviet Union.


When we arrived back home after our six-month scientific and cultural adventure, we were asked to write a series of articles about our trip for our local newspaper, The Oak Ridger.  Every day for a full week, our story was given full exclusive coverage  on the front and second pages. The letter to the editor on the left refers to those articles.
