Bob Johnson Presented
Boy Scout Award
At the Rotary luncheon on Wed
nesday, Robert Johnson, Scout
master for Troop 66 for the past
year was presented with a Boy
Scout award by Wiley Scott, in
situtional representative, in the
form of a plaque for his work with
the organization.
Starting with 15 boys, the troop
was built up during the year to
44 members and the group has
been very active and the scout
master very popular with the boys,
who regret to see him leave Nome
at the end of the month.
In an interview, Johnson
modestly expressed his apprecia
tion to Jim Blanning, stating that
“without Jim Blanning the Scout
movement would be seriously
handicapped.” He said, “Anytime
I had problems, all I had to do
was lift the telephone and Jim
never let me down.”
Mr. Johnson, who is with the
General Services Administration,
is leaving for the lower forty
eight when school is out.
