Yet unlike many of them he had kept closely in touch with the everyday people who make up audiences. Johnson is a golfer, a Mason, a Rotarian. He has remained as unpretentious as his townsfolk in Guelph, Ontario, who now prize his portrait in Guelph Town Hall but who once wondered at a youth so incalculable that he would turn his back on the ministry and the law, set out on his own for Manhattan...
