Re: FIRST Farewells

Why limit it to just student memories. Mentors have memories too
This year, FRC Team 1501 will be losing 11 great senior students
They are (in no particular order) Angel, Austin, Grant, Justus, Connor, Martha, Matt, Tyler and Garrett.
Don't let the name Angel fool you, she has a bit of the devil in her. One lesson I learned from her is to never leave your smart phone unattended. I still have the selfie.
Due to health problem Austin was unable to make many of the build sessions and none of the events. I will always remember him for his upbeat attitude.
Grant was always thinking of how to improve the robots. He and Austin were like brothers in how they worked together.
Connor and Martha were a great drive team. Leading us to 1 Regional win, 1 District win and 2 runner ups. Win or lose, Martha was always upbeat.
Justus was Justus He was always willing to get his hands dirty and help out anyway he could. He just needs to learn to dance
Tyler was another student who worked behind the scenes but never complained.
Matt has come a long way from beginning programmer to writing his own App that was used by many other FIRST'ers.
And last BUT not least, we have Garrett. He worked with the Marketing team to help us get the State Championship Engineering Inspiration award for the first time.
I know all these students will go far in their lives and I wish them all the best.
I just wish they would have staggered out the graduating bit
