October 2002 ¥ OKLAHOMA FARM BUREAU JOURNAL ¥ 5 State 4-H Hall of Fame inducts members’ son Will McConnell, the 17-year-old son of Lincoln County Farm Bureau members Wayne and CharlaAnn McConnell of Wellston, has been inducted into the State 4-H Hall of Fame. The State 4-H Hall of Fame is the most prestigious honor a 4-H member can re- ceive in Oklahoma. Only two youngsters are selected each year from across the state for induction, which is based on their out- standing performance in their 4-H careers. McConnell was inducted during the recent Honors Night Assembly during the 81st annual 4-H State Convention/Roundup before a crowd of 2,500 in the Gallagher- Iba Arena on the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. Assisting with the award presentation were Gov. Frank Keating, A&M Board of Regents Chairman Fred Harlan, OSU’s Dr. Sam Curl, Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice James Winchester and Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Howard. McConnell’s Hall of Fame portrait will be displayed at the Oklahoma Department Grand Champion Exhibitor of Agriculture for one year followed by John Pfeiffer, son of Logan County one year in Ag Hall at OSU before being Farm Bureau members John and displayed in the state 4-H office.
