lol SarahB, I think you did freak them out. John told me that story at IRI, but I think he really appreciated it too. When people started noticing me at events it was really flattering. (It was something I certainly didn't expect)

I think overall FIRST is definately working. The program may not be turning out as many 'engineers' as they'd like, but I think overall... the students who go through FIRST are doing more with their lives than they may have otherwise. There's no way of changing the course of time to prove this theory, but it's inevitable that in some direct or indirect way... FIRST does make a positive difference.
