The last time I saw him was when we wrapped up after picking up and unloading the 5 big machines we got a couple of days earlier. I am sad that I wasn't able to work with him this season on improving our shop and training our students. He will be greatly missed.


EDIT: also the stuff Mike said
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we started working on the 2 ball auto we were getting times of around 23 seconds for the full cycle. We managed to shave 9 seconds off of that time(And we could have done more!!!)*

*well probably not any meaningful amount of time

Honorable name. Adrian it is!

Do well Adrian!
