MABEL, Minn. — Phillip Don Johnson, 68, of Lindstrom, Minn., who held a 1975 geology degree from Winona State University, died from a virulent cancer. He served in the Peace Corps in Samoa, then moved to Texas to work for Core Laboratories analyzing core samples drilled in the west Texas oil patch. After the energy boom crashed in the 1980s, he earned a further degree in information technology at Brown Institute in Minneapolis and worked in that field the rest of his career. He was employed by a number of Twin Cities firms, including the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation and Cargill. He was a 1970 graduate of Mabel-Canton High School.
