    4-H taught me leadership and certainly enhanced my ability to stand in front of an audience and communicate a message. Over the years, I have occasionally received letters from farm people saying
    4-H should remain agricultural because city kids have Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. My response to that is a program as great as 4-H should be shared with farm and city folks alike.
