A Thread of Blue Corduroy

Auteur

Larry Case came into the world in Stet, Missouri and was raised by a loving family on a diversified farm. He enjoyed farming, but found he loved teaching agriculture even more. After earning his degree from the University of Missouri, Larry taught vocational agriculture in Missouri, working his way through the leadership ranks to become the state director of agricultural education. After marrying, having a family, and making his mark in Missouri, Larry was recruited to the position of senior program specialist for agricultural education in the U.S. Department of Education, which necessitated a move to the greater Washington, D.C. area in 1984. His predecessor established a comprehensive leadership structure that became known as the National Council for Agricultural Education, which enabled Larry to pioneer a broader educational system for agriculture through the critical days of the 1980s farm crisis. He officially retired in 2010 but continued to serve in leadership roles with the National FFA Alumni Association and several state-level organizations. Larry resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and is active in his church, community, and agricultural education.
