WHO IS NORMAN VESTAL?
Norman Vestal was a tireless supporter of young men and women from our community who demonstrated an interest in Agriculture. He worked as a County Agent for the Texas Agriculture Extension office for over 30 years and was awarded County Agent Emeritus by the Texas A&M Board of Regents upon his retirement.
To honor Mr. Vestal’s commitment to Rotary and his support of future agriculture leaders, this scholarship was started in 2002.
