Henry Atherton

Professor of Animal Science and UVM Extension Dairy Specialist, 1953 - 1989

Few people have had such influence on the dairy industry as Dr. Henry V. Atherton, who served as Extension Dairy Specialist and faculty member of the UVM Department of Animal Sciences from 1953 to 1989. Raised in the small town of Glover in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, Henry was involved in agriculture from an early age. His chicken projects in 4-H taught him the value of good record-keeping, and the family farm, consisting of four cows, a couple of pigs, and a large vegetable garden kept the family going during the Depression. As Henry recalls "we had everything but money."

Mary Carlson

State 4-H Leader, 1968 - 2002

From 1968 to 2002, Mary Carlson lived and breathed the ideals of 4-H Positive Youth Development while employed at UVM Extension. From the beginning, Mary understood that 4-H was much more than showing dairy cattle or horses at state fairs, it was about building the citizens of tomorrow.

Winston Arthur Way

Agronomist, 1954 - 1986

Winston Arthur Way, more commonly known as Win Way by his friends and audiences throughout Vermont, New England, and Quebec, grew up in North Hero, where his father and grandfather ran the Irving House and a small diversified farm. It was on the farm where Win gained his early interest in agriculture, plants and soils, but it was in Burma, India and China, during World War II, where he found his calling as a soil scientist and educator.
