RE: Need help to convert a name in upper case, to mixed case

[Justin Taylor <JUSTIN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was sure there was a way to slice the array without .pop() but I couldn't remember it.  Thank you

Small note for those learning Python: This is fine, and works, and is easy to follow, but it's not idiomatic:
