Warner Fluhman
Nominated by: Harding County
Inducted in: 2002
The late Warner Fluhman supported 4-H in leadership roles that included 12 years on the Harding County Fair Board, 14 years on the school board, 25 years with New Mexico Cattle Growers and 31 years on the state Farm Bureau board. But, in addition to leadership, he took time for personal, behind-the-scenes work to help kids in 4-H succeed. As county livestock sale superintendent, he increased buyer support and sale prices for 4-H'ers, and he encouraged kids who benefited to write thank you notes and provide dinner for buyers. Today we honor his example of leadership and service.
Frances Ford
Nominated by: McKinley County
Inducted in: 2002
McKinley County 4-H leader Frances Ford has been on board for almost three decades now, diligently working to improve the organization. An active member of Extension Homemakers, her group, known as the "Grannies,� has actively promoted literacy and scholarship programs in her area. Frances has also been instrumental in supporting the county horse show, taking the reins of the organization as superintendent for the past three years.
Nelda Finch
Nelda Finch of Socorro County
Inducted in: 2007
Nelda Finch recently retired as the organizational leader of the Tumbleweed 4-H Club after 18 years of service. During her tenure, Mrs. Finch created one of the largest clubs in Socorro County with over 60 members and 20 adult leaders. She has been a strong advocate for community service and a driving force behind youth attending district and state events. Mrs. Finch was instrumental in fundraising to ensure that all the youth in the county were afforded the same opportunities. She also started the Lemitar Buyers Club to solicit funds to purchase sale animals from youth in the northern part of the county at the Junior Livestock Sale. Mrs. Finch’s daughter Sarah has taken over the Tumbleweed Club, continuing her mother’s legacy. But never fear, Mrs. Finch is still involved – more community service, more fundraising, helping out wherever there is a need. Thank you and congratulations, Mrs. Finch.
Roy R. Fleming
Roy Raymond Fleming of San Juan County
Inducted in: 2007
Throughout his career, which was dedicated to working with the youth and adults in 4-H as a county extension agent, Roy Raymond Fleming had many accomplishments. Serving from 1948-1974, Mr. Fleming left his mark in Colfax, Harding, San Juan, McKinley and Rio Arriba Counties. He started the first Harding County Fair and was involved in the relocation of the San Juan County fairgrounds from Ricketts Park to its current location in McGee Park, including going out on Saturdays to help with construction of the buildings. He touched so many lives in all of the counties that he worked in and he was very proud of all the youth and always was willing to share his knowledge relating to livestock, soils and most of all leadership, as he believed in setting a good example for those he knew and worked with. He retired to Raton, NM in 1974. Mr. Fleming passed away in 1980.
