Paul, I got to see how you reacted to a unfortunate situation at Nationals. Your character really showed in how you reacted and continued on from that. A shining example of gracious professionalism and just being a good guy. :)

Re: WFA: Paul Copioli
 

A man who is a true inspiration for FIRST students, a man who speaks for himself, a man who is behind the success of one of the best teams in FIRST team 217, Thunderchickens, a man who is well deserved to be honored Woodie Flowers Award. Congratulations Paul. It was very nice to speak to you in person. You are not only a very good mentor, you are also a very good friend.

I've said this before in the other thread I started as soon as I received confirmation from Atlanta, but I dont see any harm in saying it again.
Congrats Paul, your an amazing friend, mentor, peer, engineer, resource, and human being. You opitimize what a FIRST mentor should be. Your a great guy, and your not to bad in the brains department either :p . I look forward to competing with you from years to come, and working with you in the future.

Once again CONGRATS PAUL!

Paul,
A long time ago when you were next to us in the pits at GLR, I wondered about a team that has a chicken with an eye patch as a mascot. Then I got to know you and found that although your color sense is a little off, you are a great guy. FIRST is a better place for everyone with Paul in the house. Congratulations, again to one person that has more energy than most anyone I know.

Re: WFA: Paul Copioli
 

Congrats once again, Paul. I can't think of anyone with more spirit for FIRST than you.

If you meant what you said about announcing @ Midwest, we'd be honored to have you...

Cheers, Marisa
