Wait, Alan wasn't a WFF?

Minor correction, Sue Stahlecker is actually from team 3562 - but thanks for the shoutout! She's a truly fantastic mentor.

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Corrected, thanks.

Andy is another person I'm surprised to realize wasn't a WFF already.

Also, I am disappointed that all of NE only gets 1 WFF now that we've gone to districts. There are so many great mentors in NE that deserve this recognition.

This is an insane change based on the number of regional competitions we had locally before the change to districts.
Why do we have 4 Chairman's Award winners, 2 Engineering Inspiration Winners, but only 1 WFFA Winner.

Congrats to all those who were nominated across the world, and those who won!

Mazel Tov to all, but a special one to Chuck Dickerson Team 456 Siege at the Bayou. so deserved, a wonderful mentor to students and adults.
