I knew "Doc Johnson", as we referred to him at the Nittany Antique Machinery shows on the Thrashing and Baling crew. Doc always seemed to be in good humor and I was always impressed by his stamina for his years. He was generally there to set up for the show and was one of the few that helped put the equipment away at the end of the show. Doc and I always had things to talk about both of us being farm boys and "Penn State Agies" . One of the subjects, seems pretty recently, was his corn trails, work that went on long after he had retired. Communication in later years was a little difficult, particularly around running equipment, due to his hearing loss but I always enjoyed it. I was really saddened to read of his passing, a good man that will be missed.
