Mr. Dorer graduated from Rutgers University in 1932 and moved to Virginia in 1933. From his position at the Virginia State Department of Health, he spearheaded mosquito control efforts for over 50 years. Mr. Dorer’s success in mosquito control came through the State Health Department and as a Commissioner to the Virginia Beach Mosquito Commission for many years.
