Following His Own Track
John D.L. Johnson was preparing for a career in architecture and history, when a hobby steered him toward printing.
When business started taking a downturn, Johnson accepted a position as assistant manager for the graphic arts department at the Philadelphia Gear Corp., making his way into the in-plant world. He then managed a commercial print shop in Allentown, Pa., for a brief time.
When his parents informed him of an in-plant manager opening at California State University, Johnson applied for the position. After a series of interviews, he was hired. In 1989, he and his wife Carol took off for Chico, Calif.
