Johnson & Associates, P.L.L.C. was represented on the program by Community Relations Manager Steve Johnson, who spoke immediately following Governor Doug Ducey. Steve was asked to share the circumstances of his initial meeting with Ken Potts, one of the two remaining survivors of the USS Arizona who were present during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Following Steve’s initial meeting with Mr. Potts in July of 2020, he returned for visits in December 2020 and July 2021. In between meetings, Steve and Mr. Potts (who turns 101 in April) have had many enjoyable telephone conversations. Steve was very honored to be able to share the story of such a gallant man as Ken Potts—and to then chat with Mr. Potts by phone on the way home from the event, exactly 80 years after he became forever a part of the “date that will live in infamy.”
