Skip Lambert is Dorothy Gindl- Lambert- Casey’s son. She has a daughter
( Brenda) who was also very active in 4H.
Many afternoons were spent on Gindl farms practicing Livestock Judging and a trip to Gindl store after being out in the heat was cherished..
Sure wish Bobby and Pete could be a part of this celebration.
My first 4H leader was Sam Arnold. Lamar Wheeler, my brothers and I and others met @ Mr Arnolds home on Neal Rd in Cantonment..
Tena: Congrats and thanks for all the dedication and hard work.
Wish I could be there to celebrate with you.
Skip was elected to be a Fla 4H officer.
Brenda and I were awarded trips to National 4H Congress-1964

Thanks to ALL who support Escambia 4H programs!

Please everyone come out and help us celebrate this day – everyone welcome @Teresa Tipton and family and Sue.

The current younger 4-H’s would love to hear from past Barrineau Park 4-H’s so come and share your stories and your memories. Bring pictures and we will scan them to add to the rich history of Barrineau Park 4-H.

We are going to put a display together to show at The Pensacola Interstate Fair this year (October 2014). The 4-H’s are also putting together a time capsule that will be opened in 25 years (2039) – so feel free to contribute something to this.

Thank you to everyone that is helping support this event.

What memories this brings back! C.C. and Joe Ann Lamb family were active participants of the 4-H program. Mom and Dad were leaders of a club for a while. 4-H is an awesome organization to help structure young people into individuals with character and a good work ethic. Head, Heart, Hands and Health…..The life skills learned in 4-H will be with me as long as I live. Those were the days!!

Congratulations Barrineau Park 4-H Club!!

>>My brother David is also in this pic. I think they named Steve twice and should have named David.

You are correct. I’ve corrected the mistake.

Congradulations for your successful chapter. My two brothers are in the top picture. Douglas Lamb and Steve Lamb . Our whole family was in 4H until 1970 when we moved to a 851acre farm in Al. Then there was no time for the club. We worked very hard on the farm for years until one by one we went our own way. Our Dad is still farming that land. He is 85 years old. We new most all the farmers here during the 60 s. We also custom combined hay and cut soybeans for several. Loved the 4H club and still enjoy the knowledge that we still have young people interested in farming Keep up the good work .
