Please share your stories of meeting the icons of FIRST.

Perhaps the reason, is that the Pig Farmer produces something very useful, and is likely to have a no-nonsense, plain-spoken personality that focuses in public and in private on results rather than on slogans and empty platitudes?
Meeting the icons of FIRST = "Busy" and "They put their pants (or pantsuits) on one leg at a time."
