I am glad that they started Regional WFAs. Otherwise, with 929 teams (more as I write) there are TOO MANY DESERVING MENTORS. I like ALL mentors on my team, even if they are sometimes mean or concieted (most are NOT), because they give so much to the program. For the most part, winning mentors have a combination of an amiable personality, an encylcopedia of knowledge, and a great will to inspire kids in science and technology. I would personally like to congratulate the winner David Kelso (even though I didn't know him), as well as all the regional winners (no favorites, but Especially Mr. Noble. I know him a little bit, and I know the Huge contributions he made to 461, especially considering electronics). And in response to Joe Johnson, I would also like to win that award some day
