Loretta Guidry of Lafourche Parish was a teacher and 4-H Club leader at Larose-Cut Off Junior High School for 30 years. Her enthusiasm and guidance inspired many of her club members to win state and national contests. Her club won at Achievement Day in its division 15 years in a row. Mrs. Guidry was a Blue Ribbon winner in the State Adult Leader Records Contest multiple times and also received the Good Provider Award. Additionally, she served on the Louisiana 4-H Foundation Board of Trustees. Loretta Guidry is regarded as an ideal role model of all 4-H leaders. She retired in 1993 and now devotes her time to helping her grandchildren with 4-H record books, contests and activities.
