I am very gratful to 4-H for many reasons. I started when I was 9. In that club the leader did all the sewing projects, so I didn't learn very much. The next year I went to a different club, and that was much better.We were shown how to do things and then it was up to us to go home and do the projects ourselves.. I am so glad my mother was a wonderful teacher too. When it came time to enter in the dress reveue or the county fair, I would get seconds and many of the other kids got first. At the time, I thought I was doing pretty darn good to compete against mother's that had been sewing many years, and I got a second. As a result, I am still sewing today and the others can't even sew a button on. My brother got a calf at age nine and raised it and and kept increasing, so by the time he was no longer in 4-H, he had a very nice herd of cattle. Thanks everyone for the memories. Kareen
