Lt. Col. Johnson
Lt Col. Andre Johnson, an Air Force reservist assigned to the 5th Flying Training Squadron at Vance Air Force Base, competed at the National Masters Weightlifting Championship held in Savannah, Ga., April 4 to 6. He made six out of six attempts and received the bronze medal for his age group 45-49 and weight group of 231 pounds. This makes him eligible to compete in the Pan American Masters Championship in San Juan, Puerto Rico, July 11-13 (an international event). Colonel Johnson has been lifting weights since he was 15 years old. He was a member of the winning U.S. team that competed against the Canadians in 1979, __________ just two countries. He qualified for the 1980 Olympic tryouts, but they were canceled due to the United States boycott that year.
