About Me

"I solemnly swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of American against all enemies, foreign and domestic." I took that oath when I was drafted in 1969 and I consider it still in effect. I was married to Phyllis from March of 1971 until her death from multiple sclerosis in July of 2009. She suffered from the disease for almost 30 years. We have two sons, Nate and Brent. We have six grandchildren. I am a Vietnam Veteran. You can check out part of my service at http://www.ohioheroes.org/inductees/2001/johnson.htm. I am retired from Delphi Corp. (formerly part of GM) after 39 years. I was the supervisor over a group of folks that purchased machinery and equipment. I live in a small town in southwestern Ohio.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Terry Bradshaw and Jimmy Buffett for fun. Jay Leno if he'll let me play with his 'toys'. Charlie Daniels and whomever happens to be President so we can get this country back on track. I'd also like to meet the snake jockey (Cobra Helicopter pilot) who went by "Blue Max 48I(India) One" when I was "Trail Spike 16N(November)". He saved my butt several times in Tay Ninh Province and I would like to buy him a beer.
