Emma Malone
	Emma Malone became involved in 4-H in 1957. She and husband, Frank, followed in his mother's footsteps as leaders. Their club had six National 4-H Congress Trip winners. Emma chaperoned the 1983 National 4-H Congress Arizona delegation. She was an Instructional Specialist for Navajo County from 1985 until 1991. When Frank passed away in 1995, Emma took a year off from 4-H. In 1996, she resumed her career and has been going strong every since. Emma and Frank produced several Champion Clubs and two State 4-H Scholarship winners. Their club helped raise money for the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation at its 1970 inception. They started the Guide Dogs For The Blind project in Navajo County.
The Malones taught more than 30 different projects. Emma learned Belly Dancing and taught it as a project - her dancers won a Shield and Clover. Emma was inducted into the Taylor Hall of Fame in July 2002. Emma and Frank guided hundreds of youth over the years and she continues to teach the principles of 4-H to many of their former members' children.
