Weber Looks Forward To First Reunion For FFA Officers
Editor’s Note: The Pennsyl
vania FFA Foundation, assisted
by eighteen former FFA state
officers, has begun an ambitious
search for former state officers -
their addresses, what they are
doing now, and recording their
remembrances as a state officer
and their thoughts today about
the FFA and what it meant to
them to be a state officer.
This article is in part the
result of those searches. It is
hoped that the Lancaster Farm
Glen and Lucy Yoder Weber review farm records.

gram at natural, high moisture levels*
because a Harvestore structure minimizes
spoilage and preserves the gram.
The price differential between a Harvestore

team were. “As we went our sepa
rate ways after serving the ’66-’67
year together as an officer team,
we seemed to disconnect over the
years. But as I reflect back on our
lives since then, I feel it is impor
tant to not lose sight of who we
were and where we have been
before. That one year of being an
FFA state officer had a tremend
ous effect on all of us for the rest
of our lives."
When asked about the motivat
ing force behind running for state
office in the Pennsylvania FFA,
Weber replied as have so many
other state officers - “Going to the
national FFA convention in Kan
sas City”. The national FFA con
vention has been instrumental in
producing positive motivating
goals for FFA’ers all over the
country. “You are looking at your
own peers, who set goals and
achieved them. Whether they are
individuals who are being recog
nized as star farmers, team contest
winners, or even national officers,
those participants set the example
for others to follow. I would say
the national FFA convention is the
number one selling tool the FFA
has.
