i was a state officer in 75

convention in KCS was great

learned a lot from old ag teacher

land judging—state champs, standing saw timber in forestry field day and showed hogs—-my first pig came from the Sears pig chain— during the thirties sears and roebuck gave each chapter pigs to give to students—the student had to return a pig to the chapter from the first litter—that was still going on in 1972 when i got mine—Hampshire

trivia—Gerald Ford’s first speech as President was to the national ffa convention and was nationally televised. Traditionally the FFA got the VP so he was scheduled to be there before Nixon resigned. Rockefeller spoke the year i was there—non event—we were much more interested in Tanya Tucker who had her first big hit “Delta “Dawn” out at the time. I remember Johnny Bench, Bob Dole and Colonel Sanders being there too
