Johnson, ex-director of A&M Student Publications, dies

Donald Cargill Johnson, known at Texas A&M as "DJ," died May 23. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Here is an excerpt from the obituary in the Eagle:

Don's career as a newspaper editor with the Gannett Co. spanned more than 30 years, impacting innumerable lives through his professional and personal endeavors in New York and New Jersey. He made the transition to educating future journalists when he accepted the position of Director of Student Publications at Texas A&M University in 1977. Affectionately known as DJ to his students, Don spent more than a decade sharing his passions for integrity and the free press with Aggies.

There is a guest book on the Eagle's site where you can share and read comments and tributes to Mr. Johnson.
