They were the 1967 World silver medalists and 1965–66 World bronze medalists. John was adopted by James and Helen (Baldwin) Carrell, and grew up in Seattle. His father James Carrell was a professor of speech and hearing at the University of Washington, and mother Helen (Baldwin) Carrell was a speech therapist for the Seattle public schools. After retiring from competitive skating, John graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in political science.
