Hello everyone! Our team 476 from Oklahoma had a great time
at Nationals. We are rookies this year and were very pleasantly surprised
by the kindness in which other teams treated us with. (by the way, I loved the
Tower of Terrors!)
We were plesantly surprised by being awarded the All Star-Rookie Award.
It was also equally surprising to find the chance to get pictures of
our team with several of the Judges and Woodie Flowers down at the stage after the award ceremonies.
The bad news is that someone stole a camera belonging to one of
our parent/engineers. Some witnesses said that they thought it was briskly
picked up by an adult woman wearing a green team shirt at the
Epcot center party. This caused us to lose our sentimental pictures!
If the camera could be returned-no questions asked-we would be
most grateful!
I really felt I was among family and felt very trusting until
this happened. I still look forward to next year–but in
a more guarded way.
Congratulations to all–we really enjoyed our rookie year!
