Photo submitted Rose M. Johnson is retiring as administrator for the Town of Verona.
A familiar face behind the counter at the Verona Town Hall will be leaving, this time for good, on Friday.
Rose M. Johnson, who has served in both elected and appointed positions as the town clerk, administrator and treasurer, is retiring after 29 years with the town.
Johnson first announced her intentions to leave about six months ago. She postponed her good-bye to keep continuity in the office while the town dealt with a staff absence and hired another administrator. Thursday, May 17, 2012

Low numbers were expected across the board in Thursday’s Big Eight Conference boys golf meet, but Evansville Golf Club didn’t accommodate.
Only four out of 50 golfers cracked a score of 80, and it left the conference championship up for grabs.
But in the end, Middleton’s Mitch Johnson (75) and Mike Wiebe (79) were two of the golfers that finished in the 70s on the day, which led the Cardinals over Verona 316-323 for the title.
Verona senior Matt Opsal said it was a little disappointing to not get past Middleton.
