Wow. I love seeing this picture for many reasons, one of which is seeing Dad - Harrold Johnson, coach on the left. The Head Coach, Harry Stroebel, went on to coach at Ohio State. Dad used to say that Harry wanted him to come along. I think at times he regretted that he didn't do it! I still have the engraved gold football charm from the 39 season and I wear it as a necklace. Thanks for sharing this, Tim. Keep up the good work. GO RIDERS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
