Recently, the Pennsylvania State University Agricultural Extension honored Anna ``Mickey'' Peters for her more than half century of volunteerism to Penn State Extension's 4- H volunteer youth program. This was just the latest honor for Mickey, who, last year, was inducted into the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents Hall of Fame. This honor was only granted to 14 individuals from across the Nation who best embodied the award motto: ``Making the Best Better.'' Mickey was the sole recipient from Pennsylvania. Since the early 1960s, this dairy farm wife and mother of four has been a mentor and a trainer, exhibiting outstanding citizenship and leadership. Mickey has been recognized through numerous awards, including the National 4-H Salute to Excellence award, the President's Volunteer Service Award, and the Centre County Council of Human Services Extension award. During her years with the Extension, Mickey has worked with over 500 members and has mentored over 30 4-H leaders. At age 83, Anna ``Mickey'' Peters continues to help us all understand that every person has the best within himself and that we all have the capacity to make the best better. ____________________
