Skip Rohner was the visiting historian on Saturday March 28.
Rohner, a retired Lake County farmer, is well known and respected for his many years associated with the Pear Industry. As a child, Rohner helped raise pears with his father, Hans Rohner, learning the basics of pear farming – spraying, tractor driving, irrigation. After he got out of the service in 1955 he partnered with his father packing and selling pears under the “Color-ful” label. Video courtesy of Steve Hendricks.
