Whiz Kid's Key to Awesomeness:  Proud aunt Ann Vertel submitted the following as part of her nomination:  “Connor is one of those great whiz-kids who never blows his own horn - he quietly goes about challenging himself to achieve greater accomplishments and be an inspiration to others. As the oldest of four kids, he has been the man of the house while his Dad was deployed these past six months and has "stepped up" quite nicely. He has a heart of gold and has been a shining light since the day he was born. He's a true Whiz Kid in any book!”
