[Ryan Albright]

[Alex Pelan]

hmm...let me try to remember. I think I see(sorry if spelling is destroyed):

-Alex Pelan (that's right, eclipsed by that blonde girl)
-Andy Brockway (top rightish, head cut off)
-Mikewashere05? I think that's him.
-Pat McCarthy? see above
-CDR1122334455?

Eh...I have trouble remembering faces....

[dachickindapit]

-Pat McCarthy? see above



Yeah, that's Pat, and the blonde girl could be Anna-Marie from Team 67, too.

After seeing some other pictures, I think those are Big Mike's hands on the right side near the bottom.

[Daniel Brim]

Yes, that is Big Mike holding the Scott Ritchie head. The corner of my head is in that picture, behind a few people. Overall, good fun!

Hey... that black hole is my head!

[Billfred]

Y'all are missing Barry Bonzack--he's the one in the umbrella hat.

[Greg Ross]

And Matt Leese, between KathieK and George, and right in front of the umbrella hat.
And Andy Brockway is way in the back.

[tkwetzel]

Who is going to share what everyone in the picture is laughing at?

[Elgin Clock]

Student programmer extraordinaire Mike from 237 - 2 faces below Andy Brockway and 1 face above Matt Leese..

[Al Skierkiewicz]

For twenty minutes or so the happiest people in FIRST, on the lawn in the sunshine enjoying the outdoors and friends. It doesn't get much better.
If you missed it, I hope you were there in spirit.

If you missed it, I hope you were there in spirit.

I was there.. by way of open digital communications line.*

I missed the web hug =( only b/c I forgot to set the text reminder and.... I was team queuing on Galileo!

[Madison]

I recognize only a small handful of people in this photo. I'm getting old.

[JoeXIII'007]

Four Team 66 members on the left side. The one on the far left of the photo is me. Good gathering, and thanks.

[Greg Ross]

OK. One more face I recognize (now). In the cowboy hat, from team 148: Please introduce yourself. I spoke to you in the stands on Newton field on Saturday.

From looking at the profiles of the four registered users from 148 and their last activity dates, I'm guessing it must be Lonestar (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/member.php?u=7438). Am I right? Sorry, I didn't introduce myself, because I didn't recognize you from your picture on CD. (Hint, hint.)

[KathieK]

This was a lot of fun and it was great being able to put faces to names! I think the white hat and safety glasses in the foreground belong to Jon K.

[Barry Bonzack]

The webhug was great. Had conversations with people, then halfway into I realized I knew the guy/gal!

[Andy Baker]

Waaaaaaaaa!

*wipes tear from eye*

More pictures of the webhug are needed for those of us who couldn't attend.

Bill Beatty and I could not make the webhug, as we were presenting a FIRST Conference session. We did have about 50-60 people show up for the event, including some CD posters. It was impressive to see them choose to attend our session over having fun in the sun at the Webhug.

.... and I even heard I won a t-shirt. ugh.

-Court- :D

[Damian Manda]

I'm the one wearing the red shirt with the skier on it and the blue safety glasses (I was wearing them constantly until I put them down and lost them an hour later:().

The webhug was fun, and I even won a t-shirt. I couldn't stay after the big hug where this picture was taken, as my team had a match, did anything exciting go on?

Definately my hat and safety glasses.
