About this listen
During a little down time on the shuttle bus, KFGO's Robbie Daniels had a chance to catch up with Bobby:
Robert A. “Bobby” Johnson
US Marine Corps
CPL
I was born and raised in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota – the only place I’d ever like to live! I joined the Marines and served from 1959 through 1962. When I was finished with basic training at Camp Pendelton, California, I was assigned as a field radio operator for the artillery, and manned at 105 Howitzer, with the 3rd Marine Div. 2nd Marine Div. in both Okinawa, Japan and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Graduating boot camp was one of the proudest moments of my life!
After my discharge from the Corps, I worked hard and eventually worked my way up to being the district manager for a bread company. I now enjoy the slower pace of retired life.
My darling wife, Dianne, and I wed in 1963. We raised two children who would later give us five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Over the years I have loved playing golf and going bowling.
I am a member of American Legion Post 15 in Detroit Lakes.
