Locals named to 4-H Hall of Fame
A dozen new members of the Louisiana 4-H Hall of Fame from throughout the state will be recognized at a reception on May 21.
The event at the Louisiana 4-H Museum is a way of honoring these individuals for their efforts to improve the lives of youth, said Paul Coreil, LSU AgCenter vice chancellor and director of extension. “These inductees are being honored for their hard work and dedication to 4-H.
“Without people like them, 4-H probably could not continue to exist.”
“Their photos and biographical information will be part of the permanent Hall of Fame exhibit at the museum,” said Rose Anne St. Romain, 4-H museum coordinator.
Included in the honorees is Merlin Jackson of St. Charles Parish, who served as a 4-H leader at St. Rose Elementary for 32 years. He also served on the parish 4-H Advisory Committee and was the first president of the St. Charles 4-H Foundation. His club won first place at Achievement Day for 32 consecutive years.
Also included is Mary Triche of St. Charles Parish, who has been a dedicated volunteer in St. Charles Parish for 32 years as leader of the 4-H Junior Leader Club. A charter member of the Louisiana 4-H Volunteer Association, she has attended state and regional conferences and received the “Hard Worker” award at the 2008 Southern Regional Leader Forum in Georgia.
