| Abstract/Contents: | Announces the death of Nels Joel Johnson, Sr. in 2002. States that Johnson was the founder of Nels J. Johnson Tree Experts. Highlights Johnson's career and educational achievements, stating that after founding the present-day tree-care company in 1930, he studied plant physiology and phytopathology at the University of Chicago, and engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. In 1948, he also earned a bachelor of philosophy degree at Northwestern [University] and became a member of Alpha Sigma Lamda, the scholastic honor society of Northwestern." Discusses Johnson's role in the development of the Illinois Tree Expert License Law, stating that the law "required all commercial experts to pass an examination, oral and written, before a state examining board composed of a plant pathologist, an entomologist, a forecaster and two commercial tree experts of established reputation." Mentions that "in 1973, King Carl Gustav XVI of Sweden knighted Mr. Johnson for his contributions to Swedish-American relations and support of cultural projects, including educational exchanges for students in Sweden and the United States." |
