South Dakota School of Mines and Technology
Daughter of D-Day veteran and SD Mines Graduate, class of 1938, remembers her father for the 75th anniversary
My father, Donald Kenneth Johnson, graduated from the South Dakota School of Mines class of 1938, so proud of his degree in Civil Engineering. Dad grew up on a farm in Beresford South Dakota, the middle of five sons, and worked and saved for a year before heading to Rapid City, then took on a night job to pay his fees.
