2008 HOF — Embracing Technology, Life

THERE ARE those for whom life is a game to be won, a foe to be vanquished, or a trial to endure. And then there are those for whom life is a treasure to appreciate, a companion to love and a wonderful memory waiting to happen. Ralph Johnson fits into the latter category. While others sometimes curse the darkness, Johnson sees the wonder and beauty in everything around him. The jaded train has left the station without him. He is genuine, without pretense, and doesn’t seem to take himself all too seriously.
