The son of Daisy and Joseph Johnson, Harold was born in Healdton, OK, on June 27, 1934. Immediately following high school Harold joined the Navy for a four year tour. After an honorable discharge he earned his Masters of Education from Southeastern Oklahoma, Durant OK. From 1963 to 1991 he taught at various schools within the Gallup McKinley County School in New Mexico. Harold also served in the United States Army reserve in New Mexico and Oklahoma for 22 years. After retirement he moved to his home state of Oklahoma where he pursued his passion of hunting and storytelling.
