Western Theme Set for Thomas Johnston’s 60th Birthday Party
Lake Forest, Illinois (April 25, 2007) Some 150 people from across the United States are expected to celebrate the 60th birthday of Thomas Johnston, Chief Operating Officer and one of three partners in Health Care Insights LLC and President of Six Mile Capital Strategies, which he founded 10 years ago.
The May 19th birthday party, which will have a western theme, will be held in a tent at his family’s Lake Forest home. There will be horse-dawn hay rides, a mechanical bull and its cowboy operator, live band with lots of dancing, and a DJ or two from Music Masters Entertainment as the last hours wind up this special day. Guests are asked to wear western costumes to match the theme and will compete in contests of skill with prizes including a trip for 4 to the dude ranch at Gaynors’ Ranch in Whitefish, Montana, where there are numerous trails and guided trail rides, mountain biking, whitewater kayaking, rafting, fly fishing, and much more.
Six Mile is a private investment firm based in Lake Forest. Healthcare Insights, founded in 2000, provides financial solutions and services to companies in the healthcare industry. Johnston’s career in investment banking of more than 25 years, included work with large, New York based securities firms and seven years as President and CEO of ABN AMRO Incorporated.
Johnston, who is retiring from the Lake Forest Building Review Board after a term-limited six years, is a member of The Chicago Club, the Economic Club of Chicago, Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, Illinois, and The Yellowstone Club in Big Sky, Montana, where he maintains a second residence. He served on the board of Urban Gateways, a not-for-profit organization that supports children’s education, particularly in the arts and has been active on the board of the Aptakisic District of the Boy Scouts of America; he and his son Andrew are both Eagle Scouts.
Raised on a farm in Momence, Illinois, which is still operated by his family, Johnston is a CPA with an MBA from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University.
Those attending the party will be Thomas and Mary Grace’s four children: Andrew, Ashleigh, Elizabeth and Christopher, plus extended family and friends.
