His prayer was answered and Johnston began trying to do his part.What followed was meritorious military service,lengthy public service, a wide spectrum of community service and an outstandingprofessional record.<pNow 89, the retired U.S. Army major delivers a Meals on Wheels route to the old folks, as heterms it, participates in his civic club, a committee erecting a state war veterans memorial in his central Oklahoma hometown,other civic and patriotic activities and chairs his churchs administrative board.Johnston is still trying to do his part of the long-ago covenant. This, his life story, describes that effort and how hes used hard work, determination, ingenuity and courage to be successful in many areas from his teens to today-2010.
