My mother Delana (Pearce) Rothenberger's birthday was May 11th, which meant that every few years Mother's Day and her birthday would occur on the same day, making for a special celebration. She has now been gone ten years; this year would have been her 91st.
A native of Osborne County, Kansas, Von Rothenberger is a mild-mannered local historian and avid Kansas Explorer Club member currently living in Lucas, Kansas.
