(L to R) Diane Epp, Jerry Golmanavich, Nicko Fretes

It was a distinct pleasure handing out the Essay contest award checks to Nicko Fretes and Diane Epp of Lincoln South East High School. This seemed especially significant considering the fact that the teacher, Diane Epp, will be retiring at the end of the school season.

The class bubbled with anticipation, but Nicko Fretes has already been acknowledged as a scholar in the World Herald and elsewhere, and he was very happy with the $100, which may help pay his tuition at Harvard. Congratulation and hearty THANK YOU from all of us at the Nebraska Section of Society of Plastic Engineers.
