Bob
W. Bradley
Bob
Bradley has been a Wood County 4-H horse club advisor
for many years, yet his involvement in 4-H has not stopped
with Wood County programs. He has been actively involved
in all phases of 4-H at the local, district, and state
levels. Bob formed the Wood County 4-H Horse Advisory
Council in 1969, which he continues to work with in
an advisory capacity. From 1972 through 1981, he organized
and directed the Defiance Area Saddle Horse Camp, which
was the first of its kind in the state. More than five
hundred boys and girls from nine northwest counties
attended the camp. On the state, level, Bob served as
a State 4-H Saddle Horse clinics for 4-H members and
advisors.
Probably
the most important aspect of Bob's contribution has
been his ability to create a spirit of cooperation and
goodwill among those with whom he works. He has developed
much of his life to helping shape the lives of young
and old alike though the 4-H program.

Robert
E. Jackson
Having
completed 36 years as a 4-H advisor, Bob Jackson has
directly influenced the lives of hundreds of Logan County
youth. As a club advisor, he was always willing to share
his talent to helping young people achieve more through
their 4-H projects. He could account for at least 20
former 4-H members who went on to become advisors within
their community. Bob served as a representative to many
district and state 4-H advisory committees. He was influential
in raising funds for the betterment of 4-H. Through
his leadership approximately $10,000 was raised to award
the Camp Clifton Development Fund and more than $30,000
for the construction of a 4-H Exhibit Building on the
fairgrounds.
Because
of Bob's dedication to 4-H, a wealth of opportunities
continue to be provided to youth and adults in Logan
County. He is truly and individual committed to “Making
the Best Better.”
