RON BEACH

As a boy, Ron Beach developed a passion for nature. While most boys his age were involved in sports, Ron would be found roaming the fields and forests that surrounded his home, doing what he called "nature snooping". At Williamsport Technical Institute now known as Pennsylvania College of Technology, Ron trained to become a draftsman and was hired by the Pennsylvania Department of Highways. Ron also became a deputy game protector with the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
