Taken from our 10 year class reunion book - July 14-15, 1973:
In Memory of Robert Johnson We all have our separate memories of Bob. Since this should not become a record of just my memories, I thought I would discuss one recollection - one that we all share:
Remember the Five Year Reunion? I remember discussing with different classmates how unusual, in view of the Viet Nam War, that our class was still intact. We had had no deaths. However, we weren't so lucky during the last five years. Bob Johnson, a very special classmate, was killed two years later - June 12, 1970. I remember Bob at the Five Year Reunion. I remember, as many of you will, getting soaked on the day of the picnic. I remember Bob playing soccer, baseball and volleyball in the rain. I remember ....
I wish to propose to you my fellow classmates, that we all keep in mind what Bob stood for - honor, good citizenship, leadership, scholarship, sportsmanship, friendliness, and concern for his fellow man. Thank you ... Jim Benkovich President of the Class of 1963
