    I don't live in the immediate area so it took some time to reach me that a friend, Johnny Black passed away after a long fight with the effects of agent orange. He never let it affect his work or daily contributions, he is an example of the service many Viet Nam veterans have made without fan fare surpassing the contributions of most. Please read this obituary to realize how hard his early life may have been and how rich his legacy is in family and friends as well as a very long working career over the years. Please pay attention if you are one of those that only sees the problems and not the contributions that Viet Nam Veterans have made over the years. Johnny Black you were an inspiration to me and so many others. God Bless your family who suffers this great loss.
