When he is at the University, which isn't often, the president of the Alumni Council bounds up the steps of Crossland Alumni Center and reaches the administrative offices of the Alumni Association by 7 a.m. When he is traveling, which is often, Johnson is "up and cracking early," relating the University's fundraising needs to alumni and friends. He usually finds a receptive audience. 1 "The University has contributed a lot to experiences that have helped me in the business world," said Johnson, district sales manager for Mobil Oil Corporation. "I want to return a small portion of what UMO has done for me." By that standard, Johnson may be a consummate "UMO man." He describes himself as enthusiastic and competitive.
