Richard (Dick) Bartram grew up on a ranch near Chelan, WA, graduated from Washington State College in 1943, and was drafted into the service in 1944. He served with honor in the south Pacific and in occupied Japan. In 1947, while visiting the Washington State College Dean concerning advanced education, the head of Extension in Washington State heard Dick say that he had a degree in Organic Chemistry. Dr. Turner hired him on the spot. His Extension assignment in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan Counties was Horticulture and 4-H.
In the early 50’s, Dick helped establish a 4-H Youth Camp on Lost Lake in Okanogan County. Dick played a major part in the establishment of the Chelan County Fair during the 50’s. The new fair provided 4-H youth a means by which to qualify to attend District and State Fair. Dick and other Extension staff and volunteers helped build some of the buildings still found at the fairgrounds.
In the 60’s, Dick became the agent designated to work with the 4-H Horse Program in the three counties. He stayed with that position until his retirement in 1981. Dick also worked with photography members and leaders.
Dick’s influence on 4-H is still strong. Former 4-H leaders and members speak of him with great respect and with a smile, remembering his wonderful sense of humor.
