• Former Everett school chief Rudy Johnson dies
  Rudy Johnson was a teacher, principal, Everett School District superintendent and Skagit County's United Way director.
  Not bad for a two-time high school dropout.
  Rudy Johnson died June 3 at his home in California. He was 82. The cause of death is undetermined.
  Born in 1926 to Scandinavian immigrants, Rudy Perry Johnson attended schools in Anacortes and Mount Vernon. He served in the Navy during World War II before enrolling at Skagit Valley College where he played football.
  He went on to Western Washington University where he earned his bachelor's degree in education. He would later earn master and doctorate degrees in education, and spend 40 years as an educator in Washington and Oregon, climbing the ranks from teacher to principal to superintendent.
