My Dad, WH "Shag" Johnson, Jr. was the Supt. Of The Street Department in Scottsboro, Alabama for nearly 30 years. The city honored him by asking him to throw out the first ball at the Dixie Boys Baseball Tournament that was held on the new field that he had a big part in the building process. This tournament was open to boys across the United States and he considered this one of the greatest honors given to him.
