Howard Johnson Memorial Scholarship
Howard Johnson was born, raised, and lived his entire life in Klamath Falls, OR. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved camping and hunting. He also had a passion for, and was very skilled at, construction and carpentry. He worked for many years at Modoc Lumber, Cell Tech, and owned his own small construction company for a time. He had a huge heart and would help anyone in need. He often spoke of how important carpentry and skilled trades programs are, and he would be proud to be the namesake of this skilled trades program scholarship.
