TMFTwitty,

I suppose this is a MF system wide contest. I speak for just two, a very cherished one, a very profitable one, a most educational one, and putting the two together is a complete package. My membership goes back to Feb, 2009, just a few months after a new service was begun.

So, with some history, and a lot of reading, I respectfully submit the following recommendation for the 2012 Feste Award.

Stamleo is my nominee for The Feste Award

We can always depend on Leo to keep us up to date on Quarterly reports. How can a newbie miss that Pro will have an update soon on What We Think Now? Very valuable to me to discover Leo’s being on top of our companies.

No one finds, and reminds us of our teams work like Leo. Wish I could find the post where he went though all the steps you guys take, and ended with this “gotcha”. “That’s where Bryan’s updates come in handy”. (Going by memory on this quote). Too kind, yet so succinct.

There is so much more about Leo that I admire, and follow all his posts, as they every one does a new thing, awakens my curiosity, stokes my interest, or educates my ignorance. He, IMHO, is one of the best assets you team members have. To support that premise, I submit the following posts as examples.
