Just to clarify, this is not a post to discuss the character played by Cliff Robertson in the movie Gidget....this is much bigger.  This is to announce who the Maple Prime's Mentor of the Year is.  But before I get to that, I would like to thank all members of the Maple Primes community for their contributions over the past year. I hope that you will continue to be active and contribute regularly to Maple Primes.

Now, on to the winner....drum roll please....I'm trying to build suspense here....the recipient of the 2008 Maple Primes Mentor of the Year is: Doug Meade.  Aside from garnering the coveted title of Mentor of the Year, Doug has also won a trip to Maplesoft HQ in  scenic Waterloo,Ontario.

Congratulations Doug!
