Apparently his daughter is a beach volleyball player for Canada. Not sure how Wilkerson is part of his name though!

I guess when you play overseas for 30-some years, you get rewarded with an extra last name.

Extra strange because it is not even his wife's last name.

Maybe Wilkerson was his fathers last name and he was raised by his mother and just went by Johnson, but Wilkerson was his legal name....

 

[drboobay]

Perhaps. Does not really matter of course but it made me curious.

I just wanna know what other kinda cool stuff they give you when you play that long!

A salary!
