Bio/Historical Note: Robert E. Brack was born in Strasbourg, Saskatchewan in 1930 and grew up on farms near Bulyea and Clark's Crossing. He graduated from the College of Agriculture, University of Saskatchewan with Great Distinction in 1952 receiving the most distinguished agriculture graduate of the year award from the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists (SIA). Brack obtained a Master's Degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1961. Brack was first appointed to the staff of the University’s Extension Department in 1952. During his years at the University, Bob was a distinguished educator and trusted mentor. In 1982 Brack became Director of the Extension Division. He filled the years from 1952 to 1991 with innovative and long-lasting contributions to the development of rural youth, agricultural producers and agricultural organizations. This work included extension services and adult learning, alumni relations and providing distance education to communities across the province. In addition to the Extension Department/Division, Brack held associate memberships in the College of Agriculture and the Department of Continuing Education. For many years, he played a major role in the production and distribution of The Guide to Farm Practice in Saskatchewan. Brack was editor of all three guides published in the 1980s. He assumed leadership for the provincial 4-H Council and influenced thousands of young 4-H members over the years. He helped create the 4-H Foundation leading to the permanent establishment of Camp Rayner at Lake Diefenbaker. Brack was instrumental in positive changes to the 4-H program including the development of multiple-project clubs and the expansion of 4-H projects. With his encouragement, leadership activities became an important part of the 4-H curriculum. Brack was president of the Canadian 4-H Council during Canada's Centennial Year in 1967 and was awarded the Centennial Medal. Brack died on 16 January 2010 in Saskatoon.
