Sometimes it is more appropriate for an individual to listen than it is for him to speak.

Team 148 students, teachers and mentors stand with great pride next to JVN in all that we do and accomplish.
This award highlights not only his dedication to our team, but to the entire FIRST organization.
Our students comments include :
Sasquatch said : "he is a good example of what FIRST can produce"
Snowflake said : " he is very deserving, I had fun writing the essay and really proud it is what he needed for the win."
After only two years with Team 148, his influence has established a sense of professionalism among the students and their drive to success.

Congratulations, John. You've always been an inspiration and role model to me, and I can't think of anyone more deserving of this award than you. It's great to see the very first Unsung FIRST Hero finally get recognition for everything you do.
