About the Book
Alone on a cold Italian mountaintop in World War II, CECIL E. JOHNSTON, a wet, hungry GI with no idea what was coming next, made a covenant with God. His prayer was answered and Johnston began trying to do his part.
What followed was meritorious military service, lengthy public service, a wide spectrum of community service and an outstanding professional record.
Johnston is still trying to do his part of the long-ago covenant. This, his life story, describes that effort and how he’s used hard work, determination, ingenuity and courage to be successful in many areas from his teens to today-2010.
