NOTABLE DEATH

Katherine Johnson

by Bob Walsh

Katherine Johnson, who was one of the black women portrayed in the film HIDDEN FIGURES, died this weekend at the age of 101. At the age of 97 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest non-military award this nation offers. Hers was a noteworthy, and at the time pretty much invisible, achievement. If you haven't seen the flick, you should.
