When my wife, Nancy, and I first arrived in a rural area of Southern Maryland 40 years ago, we set out to find a local physician. Our young neighbor informed us, "My father's a doctor, everybody likes him."
And that is how we met Dr. Fred Johnson, whose practice was located by the nearly abandoned railroad tracks in La Plata. We learned that Johnson was descended from Col. Adoniram J. Warner, brevetted brigadier general, who was one of the wounded war veterans who served as an honorary pallbearer for President Abraham Lincoln.
Johnson, who had sailed with his brothers in his youth, developed a remarkably complete medical chest for our cruising, the framework of which is still aboard my boat.
