George Milton Johnson ’56

Milt died Oct. 15, 2005, in San Antonio, where he was a lifelong resident.

At Thomas Jefferson High School, his primary interests were football, track, and student government. At Princeton, he continued his interest in track and was a member of the Flying Club and Elm Club. Every year, he roomed with his twin brother, Douglas, and Mundy Peale.

After receiving his degree in geological engineering, he was active for 40 years as an independent geologist in the oil and gas industry in South Texas.

He was a member of Christ Episcopal Church in San Antonio and St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Bandera, Texas. In addition to various professional geological societies, he was a member of the Texas Cavaliers, the Order of the Alamo, the San Antonio Country Club, the Argyle Club, and was past president of the San Antonio German Club and Conopus Club.

Milt enjoyed traveling, hunting, fishing, and especially fly-fishing with his brother-in-law, Joe Zimmerman, in Colorado. His favorite times were spent at Greenlawns, the family's country home on the Medina River near Medina, Texas.

The class extends deep sympathy to Ellen Zimmerman Johnson, Milt's wife of 45 years; their son, David Milton Johnson; and Milt's brother, Douglas.
