The Westminster woman who is believed to be the
longest-serving 4-H volunteer in the country was surprised recently to be
honored for 58 years of volunteer service.
Fifty-eight years? thought Kathryn Frock. Why 58?
"Maybe they don't think I'm going to be here for 60
years," she said with a smile last week.
If there were a grandmaster of homemaking, Frock, 80, would
qualify: Her skills range from the "seven-day pickles" she puts up to
the carefully centered daisy buttons on a dress she made in 1936 that swept 4-H
Club local, state and national needlework honors.

"This woman is phenomenal," said Bob Shirley,
Carroll County's recently retired extension agent for 4-H. "The amount of
volunteer work she's still doing and the number of organizations she's giving
support to. And she still is a very strong, active leader," he said.

When Kathryn Frock joined 4-H in 1934, there were girl 4-H
clubs and boy 4-H clubs. If you lived on a farm and worked with animals,
however, you were allowed to belong to a "co-ed club."
In those days the fair was held in Taneytown, before moving
to its current location behind the Agricultural Center in Westminster.
To build the buildings at the new site, the 4-H clubs raised
money through various methods such as making moccasins and selling household
"guidebooks."
At 89, Frock has more than 60 years of memories of being in
4-H, first as a member, then as a leader and currently as a judge… http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2006/08/westminster-eagle-katie-v-jones-kathryn.html
