Dear Johnston family,
My thoughts are with you. I have known Bob since the mid-1990s when he started working with AVC to help put on training for fish farmers near and far. He was great to travel with, always fun and a whirlwind of activity. As a young faculty member, I distinctly remember flying into Bangkok in 1997 (where he had organized a meeting with local universities and I was meeting him) and, as I was in line to go through passport control, I thought if they ask me who I am seeing while in Thailand, my only answer was Bob Johnston who I really hope is on the other side of this barrier. They didn't ask but Bob was there with every detail organized. Every time I saw Bob, on campus, on the golf course, in a restaurant, it was a joy. I will truly miss him. I have included a few photos from our trip to Malaysia in 1997 to put on a training course.
