In Memoriam of Dr. John Jay Wood
On August 9th of 2014, we lost our beloved mentor, Dr. John Jay Wood and his wife Reisa Wood in a small aircraft accident in Iowa. He taught at the Air Force Academy as the head of the Department of Engineering Mechanics for 16 years and he was a mentor for Team 2996 since our rookie year in 2009. His dedication, intelligence, and love motivated everyone on the team to do their best. He inspired new passion for STEM every day he volunteered for our team and influenced the lives of all the students he met.
