A graduate of Glen Cove High School, Johnson retired in 1999 following a 30-year career as an art teacher and track and cross-country coach in Glen Cove. He passed away three years ago, and the dedication was ﬁttingly held on his birthday. Sunshine, who ran for Johnson on the cross-country team, served as master of ceremonies at the track dedication. He welcomed a multitude of familiar faces, including fellow runners Tracy Crow, Ed O’Rourke and Carlos Vasquez, former Glen Cove Athletic Director Sal Trava- tello, and former assistant coaches Jim Peterson and Savy Gallo, among others. Glen Cove City Mayor Ralph Suozzi and Nassau County Legislator Delia De Rig- gi-Whitton were also on hand to present proclamations commemorating the dis- trict for the dedication and for memori- alizing Johnson for his work with local student-athletes through the years. “AJ made running a team sport easy,” said Sunshine, who shared interesting stories about his former coach, recalling “rabbit runs” to Garvies Point in which team members attempted to catch their coach. He also spoke of how Johnson was not just a coach, but also a mentor and friend. “He was always available to us. If you needed AJ, you called him.” Crow, an African-American who grew up in the Orchard section of Glen The family of late Glen Cove High School track coach Albert “AJ” Johnson joined Glen Cove Board of Education President Joel Sunshine in Cove but now resides in California, dedicating the high school track in Johnson’s name. echoed these sentiments.
