Re: Congratulations to John Larock - Our 2011 WFA

Is this MOE's coach, he's the only mentor from MOE that I've met, but if it is he definitely deserves it. He was really great to work with at Championships last year. If not, Congratulations anyway, I know anyone from such a great team like MOE could deserve this!!

You're thinking of BobbyD, if you're talking about MOE's field coach - he's also an Awesome Mentor.

Re: Congratulations to John Larock - Our 2011 WFA

<Insert MOE's clap sequence> Go John!

Honestly, I assumed John was a WFA recipient, now I know he is. Thanks for everything you have done, I know you have truly inspired me and the teams I have helped with.

Congrats!

PS - Thanks for allowing me to sit with your team during Einstein, it was awesome talking with you.

Congrats Mr. Larock. Your groundwork you laid down made for a great alliance partner for Curie eliminations for #364 and #1986. Hope to see you again next year!

Re: Congratulations to John Larock - Our 2011 WFA

Congrats John!

I know seeing a Northeast representative win such a prestigious award is an honor for teams in the area itself. Everything you have done for the Delaware Valley and MOE is outstanding.

Your team, colleagues, and region are very proud of you and your efforts to change all of our lives.

Keep making miracles!

Re: Congratulations to John Larock - Our 2011 WFA

Congratulations, John. You are really a good sport in addition to your many outstanding WFA qualities.

I'm sorry I had to treat you in such an undignified manner, but I was honored to share in your moment.

I attached a picture of the "re-enactment."

Re: Congratulations to John Larock - Our 2011 WFA

I was so happy to hear that John won the WFA. He is an amazing mentor on an amazing team. Being numerically close to 365 has allowed us to be pit neighbors with them a few times and most recently at the Chesapeake Regional this year. I was able to see John and the rest of MOE doing what they do best, inspiring others.

Congratulations John, you continue to be an inspiration to myself and my teammates. We couldn't be happier for you.

-Justin

Your reenactment looks pretty accurate to me.

Meredith.

After my initial astonishment that it was my name that Woodie read as the WFA recipient, I looked up and you were there to lead me to the field. NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE. You were like a guardian angel, albeit one with a steel grip and no-nonsense attitude. Thank you for your friendship and caring. I might have missed the National Anthem, if I had to find my own path to the dome floor!

I absolutely love the re-enactment photo. Very close to the real thing. Thanks to John for taking it!
