Actually, his name is David Johnston (with a "t"). Johnston Ridge and
the Johnston Ridge Observatory are named after him. My shot here was
taken from Johnston Ridge

The pyroclastic flow blew out the top of the mountain which rushed down
into the valley and then back up and over the top of the ridge, a
distance of about 5 miles. You can see the explosion and flow pattern
here. If you were on Johnston Ridge that morning you died.
