The studious Robert N. Johnson burned the midnight oil for two years at the University of North Dakota in 1950 and 1951 before moving on to the University of Minnesota to finish his post-secondary education in 1953 and 1954. He would play hockey for both schools and be coached by Hockey Hall-of-Fame great John Mariucci as a member of the Gophers. Offered are all four of Bob's personal university yearbooks. The University of North Dakota book lists Bob as a pledge for the Epsilon Kappa chapter while the example from 1951 pictures Bob in 5 photos within the 6-page Sioux hockey team section. The 1953 University of Minnesota Gophers yearbook portrays Bob within the 6-page section on the Gophers Hockey Team along with a photo of coach John Mariucci. Finally, Johnson's copy of the 1954 University of Minnesota yearbook includes a picture of Bob as a senior class member and twice more within its pages. All have been preserved in excellent-plus condition. Obtained in an estate sale of personal items that had been saved by Bob Johnson and will come with a letter of provenance.
