 |

| Ryan dressed the part of the subject of his biography - that's a real naval officer's uniform that he picked up at the annual scout rummage sale. |
 |
| Ethan continues amaze us with his origami skills. This is a multi-colored ball that he constructed. |
 |
| This is another modular construction that actually compresses when you push in from the ends. |

| The Eby Award finally came home with Casey in Year 25 - can't believe that the Bay Area Fantasy Football League for Engineers (BAFFLE) has been going on for that long! |

| Here's what Naomi's hair looked like afterwards! |
