yay for ken!!!
man, i remember the first time i met you. and i think, like chris, i'd like to forget it. i remember it was at pioneer, 2002, two days before the end of the build. pioneer was hosting a "scrimmage", and our robot was not yet up and running. we were working frantically on the robot, and i was finishing up some wiring, when someone mentioned you'd be coming. i was excited, and commented that i had never met you before diving into the robot again. i soon became frustrated with the 'bot, and snapped at a team mate when he tapped my shoulder.
"hey, this is ken."
there you were, crouched across the bot from me. i was quite embarassed.
it has been a pleasure to get to know you better over the past year or two. you continue to amaze me with your kindness, patience, and dedication to FIRST. i truly am glad to be able to count you among my friends.
now, my own picture of ken sleeping, taken kickoff day of this year
