Remembering Margaret Crites

Image
   It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of 4-H Volunteer Margaret Crites.  Margaret passed away after a brief illness on Friday night at Cape Fear Hospital.  She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Bruce DeHart, a brother, and grandparents who raised her.  She is survived by her father Tom Crites, brother Chris, as well as Rusty, The Pirate Jean Lafitte, Flambeaux, and host of incredible friends, coworkers, and folks that she had helped over her many years working in nonprofits.   Margaret's passion was for community and she and co-worker Jessica Drake started volunteering with our 4-H program more than 18 years ago.  They started teaching arts and crafts to our cloverbuds during 4-H Cloverbud Day Camp.  They would plan the most wonderful crafts, such as making musical instruments with paper plates and shower rings that had long ribbon curls that allowed the youth to move, play, and have the best time.  Jessica went on ...

Remembering Bobby Rogers

Image
      One of the first people I met, even before I was officially the 4-H Extension Agent in the County was Bobby Rogers.  He was one of the 4-H Volunteers asked to sit in on my presentation when I interviewed for this job.  I remember him sitting towards the back of the room, near his wife Aggie, who was the 4-H Program Associate.  He was smiling, nodding, and very supportive with his body language which put me at ease in a new and different environment.  I remember after accepting the position he came to me, smiling and said I knew it was going to be you.  I can't wait to see what you do.   Over the years Bobby was more than just a 4-H Volunteer.  Sure he came in and did carpentry workshops with the kids, ran the electric program, and taught countless volunteer workshops.  Before my tenure in the program he was a volunteer with Young Leaders 4-H Club when his children were in 4-H.  He volunteered to take 4-H members to c...
