Dr. J. Gregory Johnson '72 and Elise Wall Johnson

Dr. J. Gregory Johnson '72, originally from Easley, SC, first heard of Davidson College because of Lefty Driesell and the basketball program. As a high school junior, Greg was recruited by the Wildcats football program. But it was the pre-med program's reputation that made Davidson a top college pick; he had dreamed of becoming a physician since the eighth grade.
