Thanks so much, Mr. Farrell. We had some pictures from a retirement party (much later than this) with people we couldn't identify. Do you remember the name of his secretary for years?
Thanks for your memories.

Dear Johnson Family - I would like to share a picture of Russ that appeared in an ORI brochure that I would guess was published in about 1968. Jim

I met Russ in 1973 when I joined ORI as Direction of Administration and worked with him for many years. His intellectual side kick and friend Dr. Sam Kneale were roommates. Russ was the ultimate professional as he went about solving highly complex analytical problems. Always a nice and gentle person. All the best wishes to the Johnson family.
