Guest speaker for the
evening was Dr. Barry
Fhnchbaugh, special
assistant to the president of
Kansas State University. A
former York County 4-H
baby beef club member and
graduate of Red Lion Area
High School, Dr. Flin
chbaugh earned his
doctorate in agricultural
economics at Purdue
University and has authored
38 books and pamphlets on a
variety of agricultural
related topics.
Crediting his York County
4-H experiences with
teaching him the basics of
competition, responsibility,
and decision making, Dr.
Fhnchbaugh stressed the
importance of a person’s
background in his presen-
tation, “Where Are You
Going - Where Have You
Been’”
“Be tolerant of others; be
super critical only of
yourself,” is his theory to a
successful life.
Success, according to Dr.
Flinchbaugh, comes only if
an individual practices five
key traits.
Enthusiasm is the first
necessity, sparked by a
curious mind and a
willingness to work with
gusto. Ambition must follow,
with an individual firmly
convinced that he can ac
complish his goal. Courage
is a third ingredient to
success; and the educator
warned that a person must
never be afraid to attempt a
new experience. Per
sistence, or “when in doubt,
do it,” was added by Dr.
Flinchbaugh as another step
to success.
“Never, never com
promise your principles,”
was his final advice, as he
emphasized the quality of
mtergrity as being the most
important to live by.
“Go visit the one man who
counts-that man in the
mirror. Don’t worry about
what other people think,” he
