Dr. M. Langley (Bill) Bell, Jr. is a native and life-long resident of Pensacola, in Escambia County, Florida. In 1942, in his second year at The Citadel, Bill joined the military, along with his entire class. He flew in bombers over Europe. In 1943 Dr. Bell’ father, M. Langley Bell, Sr., donated 400 acres to Escambia County 4-H Clubs to be used to provide opportunities for Escambia County’ youth through 4-H. Dr. Bell returned to Pensacola as an oral surgeon after the war and immediately followed in his father’ footsteps as a devoted 4-H supporter. Most recently he was instrumental in a land sale which will help fund Escambia County’ 4-H programming for many years to come.

The tremendous support and success of 4-H and the Extension Service must rely on Volunteers and Staff, who organize the great advance of children to their educational rewards.
