Re: In Memory of John Tal Webb
Thank you Tori for posting this.
My grandfather Tal was an incredibly kind, wise, and accomplished man. He worked on every American manned space program and served as a FIRST judge alongside his wife Nina, for as many years as I can remember. He was a lifetime member of the ASME old guard and a proud FIRSTer.
He was always involved in my education, coming in to class to talk about the space program or regaling me with stories from his career. He is the reason I am involved in FIRST today. When I was 12 years old he took me along as a field reset volunteer to the 2002 world championships at EPCOT. I was hooked instantly. I don't know what my life would be like if he had not inspired me as he has inspired so many others.
