I had some highs and lows this season but one really stands out. I had a week of vacation that I needed to take back in March. Event staff was begging Dottie and I to come up to Duluth for the regional. I surprise a lot of people here when I say I am going "up north" in the middle of winter. But we went and had a great time. If I had said no and stayed home I would have missed being present to congratulate Mike Whitman (1714 More Robotics) in person on his Regional Woodie Flowers Award. His students really wrote a great nomination and it was great to see his reaction and greet him on his way down to the field. If you have never Mike, please put him on your "must meet" list.
