Rodolph Johnson

Rodolph L. “Rody” Johnson (Engr ’56, Darden ’60 L/M) has published his fifth book, An Ice Age Mystery: Unearthing the Secrets of the Old Vero Site (University Press of Florida, 2017). The book tells the story of a 1916 discovery of prehistoric human remains in Vero Beach, Florida. The find caused controversy in its day, as Elias Sellards’s discovery conflicted with the prevailing theory of humans’ arrival in North America. The book explores the original find and more recent evidence that supports Sellards’s findings. Mr. Johnson lives in Vero Beach with his wife.
