Bill Boldt, 4-H Extension
specialist from Oregon State
University in Corvallis, spoke
about the positive influence 4-
H leaders have on young
people. He emphasized the
successes each leader has
experienced. He also pointed
out that 4-H leaders are a part
of Oregon State University.
Because o f the significant
role 4-H leaders play in youth
development, Boldt said they
are a more important part oi
OSU than any profession.
Also, the Extension Service
would like to extend a special
thank you to those who helped
serve: Geraldine Blodgett and
Pearl W yman, Josephine
W yman, D eschelle D avis,
Alfradine Smith, and Rhonda
