Arthur Thomas STRAHORN

Notes:

Arthur was a soil scientist with the Bureau of Soils, U.S. Department of Agriculture. If you google "Soil Survey - Strahorn" you will find twenty or so books he wrote about local soil conditions in the West, especially with regard to their potential for irrigation. I knew him as a retiree living on his property in Porterville, California, which was full of orange trees. He would send us a case of oranges every year. He was a kind and thoughtful man, and I am his namesake. He attended our wedding in 1973 at the age of 97. - Gary Arthur Zentmyer
