DR. DEXTER JOHNSON & BILL BANNISTER
Dr. Dexter Johnson was an internationally recognized radiologist born December 6, 1931 and died February 4, 2003. He graduated from the University of Washington medical school. He began as a general practice physician in Lynden plus residency time on the medical staff at the old State mental hospital in Sedro Woolley. He did a residency in radiology at Mayo's and practiced in Montana for several years until moving back to Seattle. We were close friends who both worked on purse seine fishing boats in Puget Sound and Alaska while going to college. He married a woman who lived a block away from my family home in Anacortes and lived in Anacortes for a time. We remained close friends until his death. He was a talented, bright and compassionate physician as well as a good friend whom I miss.
