Mr. Thomas A. Johnson Jr.

Yes

I have been working in the field of Operational budget Management. Holding positions of Budget Director for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Brigham and Womens Hospital. I just finished a four year assignment bringing automated fare collection into Boston's public transportation system MBTA - the T. I am now working as a Deputy Director - For MBTA Operations. I am very active in my church as a Deacon, Trustee and mens Fellowship. On again off again with my Grad Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha here in Boston. I am still swimming a couple of miles a week during the fall, winter and early spring. I got to do a lot of oversees travel to Germany on one of my projects at the T. Trips to Paris, Amsterdam were also fun. I love being a parent of two great kids. I just sent my son off to Boarding School in New Hamspire (Phillips Exeter Academy and my daughter is a young diva in training. I am blessed with a wife who keeps us all in check.

My first memory goes back to Freshman Orientation Week when I thought that i was the man and could beat anyone playing Acee Ducee - I went to Hansberry and met up with Lisa Sistrun who kicked my hine parts up and down the parking lot for two hours or more. I talked trash and was throughly embarrased in front of many. I always have to think of Lynn Anderson when I and B-Ram and a few others were going through life gaurd training and Water Safety Instructor training - Lynn use to dog us out in the pool making us swim laps and master each strokes until the form was perfect. Begging Denise Howard to type my papers and edit my papers for all my Political Science classes - flying up and down the Jersey Turnpike and I 95 with Pammie going home to Boston - - Road trips with the Frat and Steppin in the quad - just because!! Like so many others shutting down the school to prevent the faculty strike and the Cross Burnings on campus is still etched in my memory@@
