Charles Hussey, a WWII veteran and retired engineer, has been a positive 4-H mentor to both youth and adults for the past 40 years.
Charles has given 4-H’ers a place to house their sheep and pig projects, and donated a lamb and feed for member’s that couldn’t otherwise have a project. He has transported animals to fair, to ensure all the 4-H’ers have the chance to show their animals. He graciously opens his farm for fitting and showing practices and lamb shearing days.
Charles purchased a portable livestock scale for the 4-H club to ensure proper animal weights. Each spring, after shearing his own sheep flock and selling the wool, he donates the money back to the 4-H club. He has been seen buying numerous 4-H animals back when support was low, and has spent countless hours building tack boxes for show equipment and supplies.
Charles does not seek the limelight or personal recognition – instead preferring the focus remain on the 4-H youth. He has incredible rapport with kids of all ages. Many 4-H youth have been blessed by Mr. Hussey’s generosity and guidance.
Charles and his wife, Alice, raised three children, and have three granddaughters – all former 4-H members. He volunteers at his church, and spends time maintaining his orchard and raising alfalfa for his sheep.
