Larry Gossen

Larry Gossen grew up in Cherryvale -- just east of Elk County -- and after graduating from Kansas State University in 1977 his very first job was at Elk Valley High School. In this episode of the Lion's Roar Podcast, Larry talks about the incredible support he received from people like Rodney Oliver, Joe Tindle, Jim Nichols and Francis Bliss as he created from scratch the Vo-Ag and Future Farmers of America programs at Elk Valley. He also discusses the great contributions made by Harmon Bliss and Mark Huntington, who led the very first FFA officer team at Elk Valley.
