Tonight at the monthly Buena Historical Monthly Meeting, Joe Donato talked about growing up and working on the family farm. One of the crops that his grandfather started growing in 1925 was mushrooms. The family continued with the mushrooms until the 1970s.
Retired educator - taught mathematics in high school, went back to graduate school, worked in research labs, and finally went back and taught computer science...
