Series 1: Personal and Biographical, 1938-2007

This series gathers together documents written by or about Johnson, personal scrapbooks, and school material. Although the series spans over sixty years of Johnson's lifetime, it does not offer a comprehensive look at his personal life and interests. Many scrapbook items were scanned and are available on DVD/CD; the originals were returned to the donor. There are two sub-series: General and Education. The General sub-series includes curriculum vitae, obituaries, photographs, speeches, scrapbooks documenting Johnson's life and retirement, and a letter from Dr. Frank E. Stinchfield written when Johnson was nine years old. The Education sub-series consists of a few papers from high school and college, course material from his doctorate studies at the University of Minnesota Medical School, and course binders from his masters studies at the University of California School of Public Health. Folders in each sub-series are arranged chronologically by date.
