BARTOW, Fla. (December 8, 2023) – The Selection Committee for The Florida Citrus Hall of Fame has announced the selection of Dr. Robert M. “Bob” Behr, of New Smyrna Beach, Fla., George H. Streetman, of Vero Beach, and Leland K. Young, formerly of Bartow, Fla. as the Class of 2024 inductees. The three distinguished leaders will be inducted into the Hall of Fame along with the Class of 2023, Gilbert Bowen (deceased), of Winter Haven, Fla. and A.G. Smith (deceased), of Wauchula, Fla., on March 1, 2024 at Florida Southern College in Lakeland, at the George W. Jenkins Fieldhouse. The luncheon, which has traditionally been held in March since 2008, was moved to the fall in 2021 and 2022 due to the pandemic and the decision was made to move back to March to coincide with the slower time of season for the industry. The event is co-sponsored by Florida Citrus Mutual and the Florida Department of Citrus, with the Florida Citrus Processors Association hosting the OJ Meet & Greet afterwards. Tickets are available on the website. Read More...
