Hi Everyone:
Hope you are all having an awesome summer!

Yesterday, Herschel received notice that he placed second at NFL nationals. He PO'ed the Final Session, was nominated to the Top 9 slate, and voted as second place. This is a tremendous honor. He is the top placing student at NFLs in Myers Park History.

Herschel has done an amazing job this year, leading the team in TOC bids [I believe he's up to 7], PO'ing Harvard National Congress Finals, PO'ing/placing second at TOC Congress Finals, and of course, placing second as the PO of the NFL National Congress in the House.

Representative H. Patel is bringing home an apparently humongous trophy accompanied by a two and a half foot long honorary gavel!

Congratulate him if you get a chance!
