Johann LeBeau

Many of our supporters have known the Hawaiian LeBeaus for years, and will undoubtedly at least know of Johann and his accomplishments.  Some of you, however, will probably never have had the opportunity to meet Johann, which is why we will post a bit of interesting information about him here.

Johann was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1947.  The Hawaiian LeBeaus moved from Buenos Aires to Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1948 when they discovered that former Nazis were setting up shop there.  Not wanting to associate with them, they moved their family to safer ground.  They set up shop in Hawaii, with Johann's father Mikhail becoming a respected cobbler within months of his arrival.  He was cited by the government multiple times for his excellent workmanship and designs, and became a respected pillar of the community.  The Hawaiian LeBeaus were all instrumental in pushing for Hawaiian statehood, and when they succeeded in August of 1959 they were very contented.

Most of Johann's early life was spent learning the family businesses: shoe-making and marksmanship.  He recounts of his early experiences, "nothing could have been so satisfying as relaxing with my rifle after helping my father sew the soles on a new pair of boots."  Johann and his father Mikhail were always vocal opponents of the introduction of non-traditional hole punches into shoe making, and stood by their awls without flinching.  As the fight for statehood intensified, most of Johann's spare time was spent in advancing the cause.  After they succeeded, he suddenly found himself with a good deal of spare time, which he filled by setting up a school system in a village near Honolulu.  He became very proficient at teaching, and was beloved by all of his students.  Over the course of his life he has founded at least twenty elementary schools, ten secondary schools, and six colleges.

Johann and his father discovered the GNU Public Dictatorship in 1996, when Tim visited several of Johann's institutions.  The LeBeaus were pleased with our anti-brad message, and quickly became invaluable allies in the fight against evil.  Johann has since pursued education in all its forms.  He has been on the committees to help with our curriculum and has been working tirelessly to educate the world about the dangers around us.  He is now being given oversight over the entire GNU Public Educational system, including the GNU Public University and all courses taught at local GPD offices.  While the standards of our educational system have always been high, we are pleased to welcome such a distinguished educator as our new Director of Education.

If you would like to contact Johann, talk to your local GPD officers.  They will provide you with the appropriate forms and answer any other questions you may have!
