John said he and Christine enjoy spending time together and with family. They love travel and euchre. When they married, they had
aspirations of lots of travel, including overseas. That has been on more of a back burner for now, but euchre, any time. When asked what vision he has for the future, John said, “I want to look back at 4-H in Roscommon County in five years and see that it's grounded and sustainable.” He also looks forward to the time he and Christine can fulfill their travel dreams. For now, he's having fun and loving his job! Above: The 4-H pledge is: I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country and my world.
