Brothers Larry and Mitchel Johnson visited the NASFL Museum, researching their father Mitchel Johnson Sr. He had worked as a civilian at the Naval Air Station Surface Warfare Center. This building was formerly known as the Junior Officers Bachelor Quarters or JOBQ Building #15. Former President George H.W. Bush lived in this building when he was a 19 year old Ensign, training as an Avenger pilot. Anyway, we found a list with Mr. Mitchel Johnson's name inside the drawer of an old desk that had been salvaged from the Warfare Center before the building was demolished.
Allan McElhiney, the Museum's founder, kept this desk at the Museum and he remembered seeing the list inside the drawer, with names from people that had worked at the naval base. It turned out that Mr. Mitchel Johnson Sr., was one of those names. The brothers Mitchel were very interested in the Museum's exhibits and had a great time reminiscing. It was a pleasure to meet them.
We salute your father for his service to the naval base!
