First, thank you Libby. This is an excellent idea. I think I am going to make this mandatory for FRC Team 68, Truck Town Thunder, as well.

Karthik - Another great presentation! I was disappointed when I wasn't able to make it "in time"' last year and I was really excited to hear that you were able to present in the theatre this year. (Its too bad there was volunteer security in the room and we couldn't have heard more) I want to say that as a new leader of Truck Town Thunder, (2010), I have taken a lot of what you have said in this presentation and applied it to our team. We can attribute "rebirth" of our team and the successes we have had to many of the FIRST community and their Gracious Professionalism. FIRST has been a tremendous experience for me as a mentor and I have seen how applying the strategies used in your presentation to our team has really helped us. Don't get me wrong, we have had numerous teams help and inspire us but since I am able to give them a direct thank you, due to proximity, I haven't been able to have many conversations with you in order to tell you thank you. Both this presentation and your Chairman's presentation have been a tremendous help to our team this year. I feel proud to be part of such a great community. I want to take the time to encourage all teams to go to Karthik's presentation, watch it, study it and always strive for perfection! Excellence is an honor and I feel blessed to be able to achieve excellence as my term as team leader of what I consider to be one of the best teams in FIRST, Truck Town Thunder!

Karthik, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you for inspiring me to be the leader I am today. Thank you for reminding me why I do this! Thank you for reminding me of what is important! Thank you for introducing me to Vince Lombardi! Thank you for being a mentor!

Go Truck! #bleedorangeandblue
