Although he arrived in the Bay Area single, it wasn't long before he met September and they became inseparable. John, September, and their two children, Katrina and Jordan, still live in the San Francisco Bay Area where John continues to design satellites to keep the mortgage current.

Quotes by John Higham (?)

“I had either been insulted or praised. Perhaps both.”
― John Higham, 360 Degrees Longitude: One Family's Journey Around the World

“I’ll hike it!” Katrina said, weighing in on the conversation. “I’ll hike the entire trail by myself on crutches if I have to. I want to see the apple tree!”

― John Higham

― John Higham, 360 Degrees Longitude: One Family's Journey Around the World
