#17 and the Agriculture Museum

I bumped into this wonderful model at the opening of the Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum, the perfect place to get a hug from a friend of agriculture.  He and his wife have been supporting the 4-H program in Santa Paula for more years than they would probably admit.  And #17 served on the Ventura County Fair Board for years as well.

This is a man who loves his own kids, and still has time for all of ours as well.  I never see him without him asking about each one of my kids by name.  

I forgot to photograph the first day's work, so this is step two.

Don't you want a hug, too?

I can't resist adding some images from the Agriculture museum opening.

And yes I am proud of him!
