Cook receives
4-H Lifetime
Achievement Award
By Sarah Lewis
M.K. “Curly” Cook, who
served 31 years at the University
of Georgia, was awarded the
prestigious Georgia 4-H Life
time Achievement Award at the
Georgia 4-H Gala in Atlanta in
August.
“Curly is truly one of the most
special people that the college,
the university, our department
and our clientele have had the
opportunity to have. And he’s
made so much of an impact to
so many people in a very, very
positive way,” said Robert
Stewart, a retired UGA Coopera
tive Extension animal scientist
who nominated Cook for the
award.
4-H’er, cattle farmer, live
stock specialist
As a 4-H’er, Cook participated
in the junior livestock program.
He earned a degree in animal
science from Panhandle State
University in Oklahoma. He
moved to Georgia in 1959 to
manage a cattle farm in
Barnesville. He continued his
education at UGA, where he
earned a master’s degree and
then a doctorate.
He joined UGA Extension as
an assistant county agent in
Mitchell County in southwest
Georgia. After only a few years,
he was tapped to be an area live
stock specialist. He was then pro
moted to state livestock special
ist and relocated to Athens,
where he was considered the
most versatile livestock special
ist in the state.
He supervised the newly
formed Georgia Beef Cattle Im
provement Association. Under
his leadership the program grew
to be one of the largest and most
effective in the country. He was
also a pioneer in the National
Beef Improvement Federation.
In 1981, he was named head
of the Extension animal science
department. In this position, he
developed several signature pro
grams and made UGA a leader
in Extension animal science edu
cation.
Rallied for Perry fair
grounds
Cook’s crowning achievement
was helping to organize and rally
for the creation of the Georgia
National Agricenter and Fair
ground in Perry, Ga. He wanted
a place where Georgia 4-H and
FFA could honor, support and
host junior livestock shows. In
1991, it was built. Every year,
more than 1,000 youths are able
to exhibit livestock there.
“Due to Curly’s innovation
and hard work, we’ve been able
to build what is recognized as the
best junior livestock program in
the eastern United States,”
Stewart said.
In 1989, Cook became the as
sociate director for agricultural
programs at the UGA College of
Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences. He also served as di
rector, vice president and then
president of the Georgia County
Agricultural Agents Association.
After retirement in 1992, Cook
continued to serve and support
the agricultural community as
president of the Georgia
Cattleman’s Association and the
UGA Ag Alumni Association. In
2005, Gov. Sonny Perdue ap
pointed Cook to the Georgia
Agrirama Development Author
ity.
Cook is a member of the Pan
handle State Alumni Hall of
Fame, the Georgia Cattleman’s
Hall of Fame, and the Georgia
Agricultural Hall of Fame. He
has received the National Ag
Alumni Volunteer Award and
Southern Ag Workers Award,
Georgia Honorary Farmers
Award, National BIF Award, AG
Alumni Extension Award, and
BIF Pioneer Award.

Don’t Be Too Critical
When there are disagreements, especially over things like politics and religion, which
involve values that are near and dear to us, sometimes we cannot help but be critical of
rather minor differences of opinion. However, this habit of criticizing what others
believe, besides being potentially obnoxious, often puts up a wall between us,
thereby preventing us from genuinely listening to the other person and what
they are saying. When people discuss these sorts of issues, it may be best to
simply listen and try to really understand what they are saying, and perhaps even
why they are saying it. In so doing, we may actually find some area of common
ality between our view and theirs, rather than just looking for the differences. And
although this can be a difficult thing to do, especially if we are convinced that they
are wrong, with time and some effort, listening sympathetically will allow us to more
fully hear what others are actually saying to us.
'b The mind of the wise makes his speech judicious, and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. R.S.V.
