Lee Hamilton joins Warm Springs Extension staff
Lee Hamilton is a friendly
sort of guy—he’s easy going,
congenial and willing and able

community to his fullest
capacity. Hamilton stepped
into Clint Jacks’ job as OSU

Oregonian from Klamath
Falls. He began working with
state extension programs in
1975 while in American Falls,
Idaho. Prior to that time,

Puerto Rico.
While in Puerto Rico,

and obtained his associate's
degree. He attended the

to 1975 and received his

Hamilton returned to his
home in Klamath Falls in 1978
to work as an extension agent

resposibility was the 4-H
program.
Hamilton has spent most of
his first month-and-a-half in
W arm S p rin g s g e ttin g
acquainted with people and
familiarizing himself with the
office routine. He commends
the existing program and he
says he has no plan to change
anything. “My philosophy is, if
it isn’t broke, why fix it?”
“Warm Springs has a good
program to run smoothly,”
says Hamilton. He intends to
continue with the existing
program and to enhance the 4-
H, agriculture and home
economics programs. Hamil
ton sees his role as “bringing
the resource base of OSU to
W arm Springs so it is
available.”
Hamilton’s wife Wendy is a
home economist for Deschutes
