Re: The Mobius, WFA and WFFA site

OK, I was able to make a few changes.

Met-L-Flo out of Rockford, IL makes them. Also, I added a "trophy design" page.

Thanks, they are listed now.

Some of them have pictures and bios. I've written most of the WFA bios, and could use some help here. If anyone has more pics and wants to give input on a bio, that would be great. Just sent me a PM.

The Sunday thing messed me up here, and I missed listing Jeanne. Sorry 'bout that. She is listed now.

I will try and see if I can get a copy that snippet and send it to Andy so that it can go up on the site.
Whatever you can get, Libby, would be very appreciated.

With this data (not taking into account for team switches), the most WFFA(+WFA) winners any team has is 3.
Dina Campagna moved from team 341 to team 357 a couple of years ago, but I never updated the list so she is with the three guys on 357. She brings the WFFA total on team 357 to 4 winners. They are now alone in the lead.

I updated the list tonight (excel file and html list), and I captured about 10-12 WFFA mentors who have changed teams. From Scott Ritchie and his new team (3947) to Dave Scarcella moving to team 231, there are various changes.

Um, I dunno how to do that yet.

Yes, feed me any info you guys want to provide, and I can make WFFA pages with essays included.

It doesn't appear that everyone's teams have been updated, Pat Fairbank is still listed as 1503 but is now with 254. Obviously mentors moving between teams is tough to track since their is no database of team members or mentors.
Yep, got it. A "notes" column is added. If anything needs to be added there, please let me know. This is also a good place to list that a few of these wonderful mentors have sadly passed away.

Sincerely,
Andy
