An Italian immigrant, Personeni rose to become a major Nevada county rancher, 4-H leader and hospital director. Several speakers emphasized that he has always been willing to help in whatever way was needed on a particular project. Nevada County Historical Society sponsored the event with Arlie and Syvley Hansen as cochairmen, Master of ceremonies was Elmer Stevens who commented: "Not only are we expressing a@ personal tribute to Phil, but I think we are affirming our own faith in the local community, state and nation, There must be many across the nation who make their community justa little better just by being there."

Personeni also worked at mines in Nevada and Alleghany in the early 1920s, but in 1924 rented a ranch and started farming. "It was hard work and Phil needed help, so he decided to get married," Stevens joked. With that, his wife, Johanna, was introduced and her accomplishments were mentioned -15 years on the Kentucky Flat School board and 20 years as a 4-H leader. Finally, in 1936, Personeni became a naturalized citizen of the United States of America. "We speak of minority groups," Stevens said, "Aren't we all minority groups? This man testifies to the fact that he has taken citizenship seriously." Then, speakers outlined Personeni's activities over the past 30 years, perhaps the most major of which was 4-H work, He has been a 4-H leader for 15 years with the Kentucky Flat club and it was noted he annually hiked youngsters up Red Mountain at Woodchuck 4-H camp, a hike that was too strenuous for some. eg an, me
