NK Man Appears on Wheel of Fortune

North Kingstown's Richard Johnson's appearance on Wheel of Fortune will air on April 16 and he wants to pay it forward by hosting a canned good drive at a viewing party the night it airs.

You might have missed the great story we wrote about Richard Johnson of North Kingstown last month about his appearance on a soon-to-be-aired episode of Wheel of Fortune.
