the time this paper arrives at his
home and should move up to the
varisity team next year.
Greg’s mother said she didn’t
even know he could write until an
article of his on hunting appeared
in the school paper. “Sometimes
we have to push Greg a bit,” she
laughed.
Greg became interested in
FFA through his older brother
Bill. He became a member of the
freshman club at Penn Manor
and was selected as its reporter.
Last year he was assistant
secretary of the Manor FFA
Chapter and this year he is
treasurer.
He was selected as president of
the Lancaster County FFA on
January 24 by a group of FFA
retired officers and advisors.
Greg has raised 7 animals for
FFA projects in addition to a 12
acre com plot. He hopes to raise
some alfalfa and wheat this year.
Greg feels that ms association
with FFA has been a great one.
“I have learned many things
from my involvement with FFA”
says Greg. “I have learned to
weld, how to show animals and
how to breed them, the right and
wrong types of gram to feed
them, and more. We learn the art
of public speaking and now we
are learning parliamentary
procedure. That I’ll need for my
term as FFA president,” he
noted.
Greg does hope that FFA will
continue to become more public
relations conscious. “They have
a great story to tell. I just wish
everyone could hear it,” he
emphasized.
With Greg Landis as president
of Lancaster County FFA you can
be sure that more people will
hear about the FFA. And he
couldn’t have picked a better
week to start telling people about
FFA than this week, National
FFA week.
Use a Stepladder
Keep a sturdy, attractive
stepladder or stepstool on hand to
safely reach high places. And
store things you’ll use least often
at the highest or lowest point,
