I would tell this story, but there's no way it would be as good as hearing straight from the source's mouth, so ask SarahB about her run-in at Clarkson.

*giddy laugh* I get to tell the story now!

A week or two before IRI, I was visiting Clarkson as part of the grand college tour thing that my mom’s been so obsessive with this summer. We were on a campus tour and when we got to the machine shop our tour guide turned us over to the one and only JVN(but I didn’t know this at the time). He’s showing us around and I keep asking questions about FIRST, since it was what got me interested in FIRST. Finally he shows us the robot and I start obsessing and asking all sorts of questions while he tries to explain FIRST to the rest of the group. Finally we started talking about Chief Delphi and I found out who he was and I sort of went crazy. I was really excited because his posts here were what really made me take a second look at Clarkson, and yeah… I really wasn’t expecting to meet him. I think I ended up really freaking him and the tour guide out, but that’s ok.

Now that you all think I’m a total stalker, I’ll just stop talking now.
