JAN REPORTS ON NATIONAL 4-H CONGRESS One of the great things about working with the 4-H Extension Ji3 Events.... wnn Birdine Tullis program is when the kids come by to say hello during vacation, and share their thoughts on college or other special things. Jan Peterson, lone, came by, and she reported that she is loving every minute of her life at OSU, plus she had the thrills of National 4-H Congress to share. She promises me she will write an account of her Chicago experiences soon, so we may share them all with you.
