FAITHFUL WAPF SUPPORTERS WILL BE MISSED!

Edward Harris DeBoer (1924-2009) of
Bakersfield, California, was a dairy farmer and
direct farm product marketeer; on his radio
program “Return to Eden,” he frequently talked
about the Weston A. Price Foundation and the
virtues of raw milk.
Betty C. Williams (1930-2010), proud
owner of Belle of the Earth Ranch in Lindale,
Texas, raised grass-fed beef and was passionate
about ranching and living a healthy life. She was
a faithful financial supporter of WAPF, having
contributed to our conference as a Gold Sponsor
for many years. They will both be missed!
The family of Ed DeBoer has asked friends
and relatives to consider a donation to the
Weston A. Price Foundation in his memory.
