[Matt Adams]

Mr. Florence is truly an amazing person. He's been actively involved with team 461, who has no professional engineers, only college students who are involved in technology or engineering.

Westside Boiler Invasion has an incredibly active program, and he's always been very devoted to making sure that things go well, but more importantly, Flo is an incredible individual because he genuinely cares. He's one of those people that will ask you, "How are things going?" and you know that he's not asking about a robot design, he's asking how things are going with your family, school, and life.

One of the other things that makes Flo such an outstanding person is the fact that he's always the optimist, a big picture thinker and a 'get up and do it' kind of guy. It's this sort of character that makes him a man I'm glad to call a personal role model in a world with so few true men.

Congratulations.

Matt
