Neal Johnson makes photo news!!! Way COOL!

If you want to save the pics, you need to do it from here. They don't let you from their site. Unless you know some tricks like I do.

It was very cool to see Neal made it back out this year! Didn't get a chance to say Hi to him, always running back and forth, but he needs a copy of this pic! I love our long time life members - too bad Don Dahlquist didn't make it out too

I spent a little bit of time talking to Neal, I thought he said Don was not feeling well, so he could not make it out.

Hello, Viewies!!  I found out today from Janet Loren (wife of George Loren) that my uncle Neal Johnson was in the Viewfinder MC.  He passed away in August 2015 from mouth & throat cancer -- probably smoking & sand/dust related!!  Janet sent him a birthday wish after he passed away and that is how we finally connected.  I'm so thrilled to find the picture of him attached to this post.  My mother Sonja Elzey is his 84 year old sister and I can't wait to show it to her.  As you know Neal wasn't much of a talker.  When I called all he would say was that besides working he had been racing his bikes in the desert.  I would love to learn more.  Your Viewfinder history is fascinating.  Can you confirm whether Neal was one of the original members?  Sounds like the majority were stuntmen.  Neal worked at Northrop Grumman and finally retired in 2010.  Any information you have would be wonderful.  Please feel free to contact me at 817-807-3003, my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/nancy.j.zimmerman) or njmz1959@yahoo.com.  Neal also has a facebook page and I'm documenting my findings there (https://www.facebook.com/neal.johnson.731135?lst=787496382%3A100000918505530%3A1480606754).  Thank you so much!!

Charley Barney or Bill McInnes would be the ones to talk to that are still active and knew your uncle. I've only been in the club for about 10 years and do not remember him, might have met him though.
