Paul Kramer
’93, Hotel and Restaurant Management
 Thanks to co-owner Paul Kramer, customers can once again get a double-dip of both ice cream and nostalgia at a Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour Restaurant.
Originally founded in 1963 by Bob Farrell in Portland, Farrell's was famous for servers dressed in turn-of-the-last-century vintage outfits who delivered outlandish entertainment along with super-sized ice cream dessert specialties.
After opening more than 130 restaurants, Farrell sold the franchise to Marriott in the mid-80s, which then sold it to an investment group that was unable to maintain its original success. By the late 80s, it ceased to exist. Then after some lengthy, legal wrangling in 2008, Kramer and his business partner, Mike Fleming, secured rights to the name and resurrected it at locations in Santa Clarita and Santa Monica.

 Arabian Horse Center Goes Green
The W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center has received a $150,000 grant from CalRecycle to give a new home to recycled tires. About 34,000 old tires will take on two new forms: a bark-like material to be used as pavement and rubber mats for the horse stalls. The rubber bark and mats provide better traction and footing for the horses, says Dr. James Alderson, director of the Arabian Horse Center and professor of animal & veterinary sciences. The cushioned material also is kinder to the horses' joints.
 College of Ag Partners With Nonprofit Petting Zoo
After losing its home in Altadena, Danny’s Farm has found a new residence at Cal Poly Pomona. The nonprofit petting zoo has established its home base at the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation-supported animal science farm lab, and its mobile unit will travel around Los Angeles, the Inland Empire and Orange County.
