Hello to all the Wilcox families,
My Cooperative Extension career with Evan and Dorothy has great memories. Dorothy believe in the 4-H program and the opportunities it brought to families. I have always appreciated her kindness and positive thoughts about life and willingness to help others. I will miss her smile and friendship.
