I was idly looking through my latest Mechanical Engineering magazine just now. In the back they announced the ASME Fellows for 2006. These are people who have made outstanding contributions to Mechanical Engineering and have been selected by the Board of Directors for ASME.

One of the 69 honorees should be very familiar to all FIRSTers. This is a well deserved honor for somebody whose work will be affecting young lives for generations to come.

Dr Woodie Flowers

There is a fairly long curiculum vitea that includes his FIRST activities among many other things. But the magzine is copyrighted so I won't post it here.

So in the off chance that Woodie is lurking here, Congratulations!

or maybe one of our active members who talks to him from time to time can point him to this thread (that's a hint Dave).

The only thing I'm wondering (and maybe it couldn't have happened) is why didn't he get it before now? Either way, congrats Woody!

Congrats Woodie! I bet all FIRSTers will start treating you like you are a celebrity now :p

Yay for Woodie! I hope he graciously accepted.

In my searching around on the ASME.org site for the list of fellows (can't find it) I stumbled apon this article (http://www.asme.org/Events/Contests/Guide_Starting_FIRST_Team.cfm). It's probably been posted here before.
