I can't say enough good things about John Metz. When I first hired in at the Boeing site in Philadelphia, he welcomed me in and introduced me to the other site's FIRST mentors. He organized tours for teams to come on-site and visit the wind tunnel, aircraft simulators & production lines. Any time I saw him, he was always wanting to know how my team was doing and how I was doing. Up until this year, he was on the board that helped distribute the Boeing grants to teams across the nation and helped provide funding to hundreds of FRC teams. He will be sorely missed.
