...waiting for someone from 862 to post, other than me...

OK, no one posted from our team. We topped out at 72 students this year. With 3 active mentors, that's rough. But we don't kick anyone out. If you show up and you want to learn, listen, turn something on the lathe, rivit some metal, whatever - as long as you get something out of it.

Us mentors really don't do anything but direct traffic. Not because we don't want to, or blah blah blah... but because if I tighten a nut, that's something, someone could have done.

It got so bad we were going to attach each freshmen to a tool every day. If we needed that tool, they did the work. Tools could rotate each day. Hacksaw was tired every day. Chainbreaker was always Chainbreaker - because that was his nickname, and he was the only one who could work it.

We fear that we may break 100 next year. Wait, who am I kidding. We have over 100 signed up from 8th grade, plus the 60 or so returning students.
