[Terminator]

The regional was great. I have only been to six regionals so far and two nationals and this was the best competition I have been to. From the landing in the airport to being greeted by a representative from the Governor's office, everything was totally first class.
The veteran teams were all great and the rookie teams were all much better than anyone expected.
Great to see 359 win the Chairman's award. They were very deserving and hopefully will win it again in Atlanta. They are the nicest group of people and definitely friends of ours. Hopefully you will be on the same field as us in Atlanta so we can spend more time with your team.
We had Hilo in front of us and they are also a great group. Thank you Dale for the hints on what to do in Hawaii. You have a great group there too. Hopefully we can be on the same field again this year in Atlanta.
Then again how can you beat being in Paradise.
