Sure, myself and some others helped them out... but to only give these monkeys some tips. They are self-supporting and very capable of competing in FIRST. I look forward to seeing them in Chicago when both of us will have more time to visit.

Andy,
Your comments mean a lot to this struggling rookie team. Your help in St. Lou was wonderful and it was generous of you to lend us your time. Just talking to some of your drivers and kids on your team, you can see the positive influence that FIRST has had on them. I'd be satisfied to be half the mentor you are to your kids and the FIRST community.
p.s. - See you in Chicago!
Amanda
