Re: RIP Art Anderson, age 76, TechnoKat mentor and Boy Scout Leader
Last night I heard a news story about a 76 year old scout leader being stabbed in a seemingly random senseless act. I thought to myself why does this type of absurd act take someone from us who has such a positive impact on youth, and our society in general. At that time I did not see a photo of Art or hear his name mentioned.

This evening a news teaser showed Art's picture and I was totally stunned. I did not know Art well, but I had the pleasure of sharing a table with Art and Bette at the IRI Mentor's dinner this year. His wisdom and guidance will be sadly missed at future FIRST events.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
