God bless the Family and Friends of Mr. Erling Johnson:
On behalf of Mr. Johnson, please accept my heartfelt thanks for his influence in my life. I graduated from Champlin Elem., Anoka Jr., and Anoka Senior High (1970) and have always believed that I received a top-notched education- way back before the AP classes offered in high schools today. I attended Winona State as a future teacher, and that first year, my Am. History, Calculus, and Sociology courses used the exact same textbooks that I used as a senior at Anoka. Although I did graduate as a registered nurse, I do patient education every day. And now my daughter has almost completed her Masters in Education, teaching Earth Science 8th Grade in the Wayzata school district; and my son is working on his Masters in Public Affairs at UW-Madison. The kids talk about (somewhat in jest, but who knows the future!) both serving at the state level together here in Minnesota. And we are but one tiny family among the thousands and thousands influenced by Mr. Erling O. Johnson. Think of his legacy! And for him to have been so active well into his 80's! What an inspiration to us all.

Erling was an amazing man who was a wonderful example of how a person should live their life. He was honorable, involved, moral, pleasant, and very sharp up until recently when his health got the better of him. If a person can live the number of years Erling did and maintain that type of reputation, they are truly incredible, as was Erling. God Bless You Erling. Cres Schramm, a friend from Trinity Episcopal Church--Geneva waits no longer.

Our fond memories of Erling date back to the 1950's when he was Superintendent at Mankato and I was County Superintendent of Blue Earth County. The Johnsons were family friends and Erling an inspiring mentor. Our thoughts and prayers go to the Johnson family. He was a great educator.
