Capt. Johnson was one of the most highly decorated combat pilots in the Navy.
We are getting together to honor him and share stories. No one loved stories more than “Johnny” or “Buddha” as his men sometimes called him
2-4 p.m View exhibits at CHA. Many of the exhibit pieces in the main exhibition
are from the Capt. C.R. Johnson collection.
4-6 p.m. Walk across the street to Costa Azul Restaurant to share stories and remembrances with each other.
This will be a no-host event so you will be asked to make a small donation to the museum in lieu of an entrance fee. The get together at Costa Azul is a no-host event so each of us will be individually responsible for any drinks or food we order.
Everyone is welcome.
