A note from Tom Johnson's daughter Asa:

Hello,

As many of you know, my father, Tom Johnson, passed away on October 5th.

You can read his obituary that ran in the Vermont paper here. A slightly modified version will run in the New York Times, tomorrow 10/19 if you would like a formal copy.

We are having a memorial for him on Thursday, October 29th from 5:30pm-8pm.

The Century Association (AKA Century Club)
7 West 43d Street
NY, NY 10036

All are welcome to join us.

If you wish to make a gesture of your sympathy consider making a donation to the Poultney Food Shelf (c/o Poultney Town Offices, 9 Main Street, Poultney VT 05764). Thomas viewed it as essential to the community and supported it during his lifetime.

Please feel free to share this information to anyone who should know. We have endeavored to spread the news as far as possible but don't want to miss anyone.

Sincerely,
Asa Johnson

Small, private colleges in the U.S. are closing more often, depriving communities of resources and people. One Vermont town has a solution that could work for others.
