All 'Davey' Johnston has to do is apply the same determination that saw him quarterback the Sault Collegiate Wildcats to championship status in the Northern Ontario Secondary School Association (NOSSA) football wars of the 1950s to his latest task of looking into election interference
If asked to name the most outstanding characteristic of The Right Honourable David Lloyd Johnston PC CC CMM COM CD FRSC FRCPSC, the word that would come to my mind would be “pluck.”
His younger brother Jim once told me that when he had a pitching try-out for his school team, Davey acted as his catcher and coach in their Woodward Avenue driveway – keeping Jake at it until Davey felt comfortable that his brother was ready for his big day. But the pluck Davey has drawn upon throughout his long and illustrious career to date will no doubt see him through.
To watch “our boys” charge up the field to a win was worth the price of the train fare and the stay at Toronto’s Park Plaza Hotel near Varsity Field, where the tournament of champions took place. Shortly after his vice-regal appointment, I interviewed Davey at Ottawa’s Rideau Hall for a national magazine – and once again, his down-to-earth style came to the fore.
