Re: UFH: Ken Leung
When I saw the new UFH this morning, the first thing that came to mind was, "DUH!!!" Ken is perfect for this.
I remember the first time I met Ken, which is a memory I would rather forget in many ways. We just came off the field from winning our division at nationals and our robot was a mess. We had 1 hour to get it back to the pits, fix it, test it, and get it back to the stage. I was rushing our robot back to the pits to help explain the problems to the pit crew when Ken walks up and introduces himself. Needless to say that I was preoccupied with getting the robot fixed and I'm afraid that I didn't really give Ken the time and attention that he deserved. We introduced ourselves and exchanged pleasantries and all of that, but the conversation didn't progress much farther beyond that. I felt pretty bad about that afterward.
Thankfully, I got to sit down in a casual setting (the Omni Lounge) at last year's IRI and talk with Ken at length. He is a very smart guy, and his passion for FIRST is really unmatched by anyone I've met. He is definitely a benefit to the FIRST community.
Congratulations, Ken. You deserve it. Drop me a line if you're ever near Detroit.
