This year we get to count five of these amazing young people! Only two list
Massachusetts, but there are three others that will be attending school
here. Juna Gjata  and Gene Kim are   Tenbroek Winners!  Some might even say
we could count six, because I understand that Erin Daley has some
significant ties, here as well. I have  listed  our six  first and then
listed the rest of the finalists, in alphabetical order.

All of these people are incredible!  Please join me in wishing these young
leaders good luck for their futures and a huge Congratulations!
