Nominee:                               Phillip Johnson

Nominated by:                     Rob Rhode

Total Volunteer Hours after age 65:  10,712

Outstanding Volunteer Achievements:  After reading about a program dedicated to the physical and emotional rehabilitation of disabled active military service personnel and veterans through fly-fishing and fly typing education and outings, Phil was inspired and volunteered to start a program at the McGuire Veterans Administration Medical Center, which was the first in Virginia.  Through his untiring efforts, a program was established and expanded to three other locations.  Based on his successful efforts, Phil was asked to become the regional coordinator for Virginia and West Virginia.  He has accumulated over 40,000 miles on his car, expanding locations and programs over the past three years.
