Mr. Henshaw's father, A.L.

When the association took over the operation in 1919 he was appointed its secretary, a position he held for 27 years.    He also served as personnel director. After retiring in 1947, Mr. Henshaw devoted his time to a citrus grove which he first planted in 1929, and for several years he served on the board of directors of the Arizona Citrus Growers Association.    His other activities included membership in the Arizona Pioneers Association.
