ROPER

Here is Roper last nite in Haskell. He was elected Vice-Pres. of the FFA Double Mountain District. (which includes towns from around the area, Haskell, Stamford, Rotan..etc) He is Sec. of his local chapter. Mom met me in Haskell to see him do his speech, as u see him doing in the second pic. Oh yes the short blonde is Phillip Newtons daughter, from Haskell. Mrs. Newtons grandaughter, and one more girl is Keith Rowans daughter from O'Brien.
The election included an interview, a quiz , and then the speech. The girl who won pres. beat him in the quiz and interview, He beat her in the popularity vote. The interviews were done by people from Texas Tech. The jackets really look good when they are all together. So much for my " shy" Roper. FFA gives out over a million dollars a year in scholarships.....that's our goal. Oh yes : FFA stands for FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA ---But it's really more about leadership skills.
