Re “Survivor: U.Va. honor student talks arrest, future,” June 18-20 edition:
Thanks, Free Press, for the very informative story on Martese Johnson. It gave a different version of this young man. He seems to be a very brilliant young man, with a good head on his shoulders. Free Press writer Joey Matthews should be given kudos for compiling this in-depth story.
A lot of people judged Mr. Johnson from what they heard and saw on the news. This story shows a different version of him and where he is headed in the future. I like seeing that he would like to help others. We need more people who think like that.
I see he is also the vice polemarch (vice president) of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity at U.Va. As a member of this fraternity since 1985, I know the fraternity believes in serving mankind.
Good luck, Brother Johnson, on your future endeavors. And never forget your past, which I am sure you won’t. Stay strong and continued success.
