[Premium-Rx] Watkins-Johnson founder Dick Johnson passed away

[Terry O']

H. Richard Johnson, one of the founders of Watkins Johnson Company 
passed away Sunday morning (Dec. 9th) due to complications from back 
surgery.

His employees always called him Dick and I have yet to interview anyone 
who genuinely disliked him.  He could be tough and hot tempered, but he 
ran a large successful company for four decades before a hostile 
takeover forced the company to sell off its pieces and disappear as a brand.
