Roses and thorns

A rose of appreciation
for Sonic Johnson, who
will be retiring this month
after almost 15 years as
public affairs director for
the 14th Flying Training
Wing at Columbus Air
Force Base. Himself a trainer pilot during
his active duty career with the Air Force,
Johnson’s understanding of the base, its
airmen and its mission — along with his
enthusiasm and easy-going nature, made
him a natural for the position. Over the
years, Johnson became the “face of the
base” for many in the community and his
work as liaison between the base and the
community helped nurture a relationship
built on mutual respect and appreciation.
Thanks for your service, Sonic.
