Princeville High School FFA Parents of 1965

If you follow us on Facebook, you have seen numerous older Future Farmers of America photos.  This blog post was in the works when we've reached out via our Facebook page for help identifying parents of 1965 FFA members at Princeville High School.  A big thank you to all the Facebook friends and museum friends who helped with this.

Behind every FFA member are supportive families, and, especially parents.  The national FFA website devotes a whole page to FFA parents:  "As a parent, you’re the biggest influence in your teenagers’ lives.  FFA's purpose is to reinforce all the values you’re already teaching them at home. We ask all FFA members to set goals, work hard, and serve others. We also encourage them to discover their unique talents and use them to build a successful and satisfying career."

It has been fun researching these FFA parents.  We don't know who took the photos of each set of parents.  Most are taken inside their homes offering us a slice of what the 1960s home and fashions looked like.  If you have any corrections to these names, please either comment below or email me at phmarchives@frontier.com.
