In honor of those who have served our country, Holloway is kicking off an occasional online series entitled “Miner Mondays,” where we’ll revisit the archives of Holloway’s “The Miner” newsletter, started in January 1987 for the California ag community.
Everyone called him “Dad,” from his friends to his family. He was known in the valley as the crazy fellow out in Lost Hills with ideas about mining gypsum for agriculture. To young Al Holloway, he was just the greatest man to ever walk the earth. His name was Harvey Mulford Holloway (H.M. Holloway), and he was the boy’s grandfather.
On, we’ll call it Miner Monday, we look back at Holloway’s gypsum miner mascot over the years.
