An Example of How It Works
Retired United States Army Brigadier General Walter F. Johnson III has always been a leader. The 1961 graduate of West Virginia State spent 27 years in the US Army, before retiring from service to launch a second career as a highly successful international businessman and entrepreneur. “West Virginia State gave me a solid foundation academically and also taught me how to deal with people and how to deal with life.” General Johnson and his wife, Doris, wanted to ensure that future generations have the same opportunity, by making a planned gift to WVSU.
The Johnsons met with their attorney to ensure that WVSU was listed in their estate planning. Gen. Johnson sums up his and his wife’s philosophy to support the University simply. “It’s not the taking, it’s the giving that is important.”
