To start, I am not posting on behalf of any team that I have ever been on...I am posting on behalf of myself and another alum, as individuals.
I'd like to point the community's attention
here, towards an article about Nick Reynolds.
Most of the older CD members will remember Nick in his postings on here, if you dig through the archives you can find a lot of his old posts which are very insightful.
In any case, not only was he one of the brains behind 237's hopper/hang strategy in 2000, he has brought many insights to the team for the years that he participated. He also brought a challenging and addictive aspect to FIRST for me; always being on top of the major issues, and always asking "Did you see that on Delphi?" Also, he always had his house open to not only to his son's friends, whether it be just to hang out or to have huge parties, but to the entire team if they wanted to have a meeting when the school was closed.
Personally, he has been a great friend and mentor, and I wish him a full recovery. I just wanted to let the community know what was going on, since you did know him for a while. Thanks.
