2001 Hall of Fame Inductees |
Induction of the first 100 members took place during the Centennial Birthday Gala at the State 4-H Forum in Ocean Shores on October 18, 2001. Following is a short biography of each inductee by county.
Thurston County
Andy Andrews worked closely with the 4-H Youth Development Program for many years. He was the area livestock agent for Thurston and surrounding counties. Prior to moving to Olympia, he served as an Extension agent in Clallam County. He was involved in the local and state 4-H fairs, and a leader in the Northwest Jr. Livestock Show.
Joyce Elliot has worked as a 4-H parent and volunteer leader in foods, clothing, gardening, dairy, beef, poultry, and craft projects for half a century. She has been the superintendent for foods, demonstrations, Sewing Expo, and judging contests at the Thurston County Fair. She also has served on the county Leaders Council and on the kitchen and judging contest state committees.
David Kalar was the driving force in the development of the Youth Market Animal Sale, established in 1990. He has served on the Board of Directors, and is the current president. He serves on the County Fair Board, and one of his current efforts is to change the bylaws to allow youth members full decision-making and voting privileges. David is a very accomplished open class beef showman. In the area of volunteering with youth, he is extremely modest and works very hard to deflect recognition to others.
Sid Willuweit was involved in 4-H as an exhibitor in his early years and became a 4-H leader. He now exhibits as an adult in open class events. He has been on various committees throughout the county and state. He was chair of the State 4-H Forum when it was held in Olympia. He served three years as president of the the Washington State 4-H Fair Board and helped get a llama division at the State 4-H Fair. Sid was honored this year with Thurston County 4-H's Lifetime Achievement Award. He has given many sheep to 4-H youth for their projects. He has been a contributor to the Washington State 4-H Fair, both as a volunteer and a monetary donor.
