Escambia County-Alabama Extension

06/02/2026

Congratulations to Kathryn Rambach, a 2026 graduate of T.R. Miller High School, on receiving the Alabama Association of County Agriculture Agents and Specialists Scholarship!

This recognition is especially meaningful to the Escambia County Extension family. Kate is the granddaughter of Dr. Olin F. "Buck" Farrior, who faithfully served as County Agent Coordinator for Escambia County from 1987 until his retirement in 2010. Through his decades of service, Buck helped educate and improve the lives of countless individuals across our county.

Buck passed away in May 2025, but his legacy of service, leadership, and commitment to helping others lives on. We know he would be incredibly proud to see Kate receive this scholarship and begin her own exciting journey.

This fall, Kate will attend Huntingdon College, where she plans to major in Pre-Health/Cell Biology and continue her softball career.

Congratulations, Kate! 🎓🎉
