> Federationist receiving one: Al Maneki, who worked at the National Security 
> Agency, received one from his component in 1998.

> college education, as a scholarship winner (in fact the Manekis were mentors 
> to me), and throughout my career in both state government and Federal 
> service.  When I think of the top mentors to me in the Federation, they're
