Lewistown student to take part in People to People Program

The “Exploring Australia” program is a 15-day exchange consists of meetings with government officials, interaction with other students, educational activities, and home stays with host families, as well as visits to the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef, an aboriginal village, and a zoo where she will be able to study and interact with Australian wildlife such as koalas and kangaroos. President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded People to People in 1956. He believed that if people from different cultures could come together in peace and friendship, so eventually would nations. Programs like Sister Cities, Project HOPE, and the Student/Sports Ambassador Program were created by People to People, and have become independent programs since then. Riley Johnson has thanked and recognized the sponsors who have made this experience possible with their financial support: Dr. Marci Well, Graham Medical Group; Ted G. Collins, Collins & Johnson, P.C.; Ipava State Bank; Lewistown Ag, Inc.; Elam Private Detective Agency; Art Hossler Auto Plaza; Harmon & Harmon Insurance; Spoon River Mechanical; Chad Beekman, Beekman and Associates; Scott & Angie Miller, Discover Travel; Lewistown United Methodist Church Ruth Circle; Dr. Harry Burch, D.C.; Andy Andrews, Handy Andy Home Improvement; Zack Stamp, Ltd.; Dr. Jesse Stinauer, Stinauer Family Dentistry; Jason Myetich, Maurer Stutz Engineering; Richard & Carol Well; and everyone who bought Worlds’ Finest Chocolate candy bars at sports or community events or from the boxes located at the Lewistown and Canton branches of Ipava State Bank.

Dr. Robert L. Johnson: Optometrist and so much more (1930-2010 ...

Robert L. Johnson, O.D., was a true pioneer in optometry, a community leader and a man of great faith. I had an opportunity to meet and talk to him at several meetings over the years and to have an opportunity to know him even better through his daughter, Dr. Stephanie Johnson-Brown who was a classmate of mine at the Illinois College of Optometry. The obituary in the Chicago Tribune noted that he was one of five children born and raised in Helena, Ark., to Joe and Catherine Chatman Johnson. Dr. Bob (as he was often called) was an outstanding football player in high school and attended Xavier University in Louisiana in New Orleans on a football scholarship. He met his future wife, Mercedes Sylvest, while in college, and together they raised six children.

After college Dr. Johnson served in one of the military’s first integrated companies. He received guided missile training and was assigned to the 7th Infantry Division serving in Korea. Later he was promoted and served as a combat medic earning many awards (including the Purple Heart). After leaving the army, Bob became a supervisor at Chicago’s main post office. Along the way he received his Master of Science degree from the University of Chicago, graduated from the Illinois College of Optometry, held memberships in the Optometric Extension Program, Illinois Optometric Association, the AOA, and the National Optometric Association. He also earned his Fellowship in the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD). Dr. Johnson was active in his community and was the chairman of the Board of Trustees at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church.

One of his greatest achievements was creating a multi-doctor optometric practice specifically designed and dedicated to the visual welfare of Chicago’s children. As co-founder of the Plano Child Development Center and president of Vision Health Management Systems, Inc., he and his colleagues brought eye and vision care to those who needed it most even if they could not afford it. He diagnosed and treated thousands of children with learning-related vision problems, including his nephew Larry Fitzgerald.

As my colleague and friend, Dr. Len Press notes on his blog: “Larry is a superstar wide receiver who plays for the Arizona Cardinals. He struggled with learning issues as a child and, in a widely publicized story in the Wall Street Journal, credited Dr. Stephanie Johnson-Brown and her father Robert in providing him with the visual skills needed to succeed.
