Re: A farewell to the place I called home
Ken -
When asked about some of the best "success stories" of FIRST, there are many, many examples from which to choose. But it always seems that a handful of a half-dozen or so just naturally rise to the top. Those are the ones that represent the best and the brightest of the "FIRST graduates," those that have not only learned from their experiences with FIRST, but have gone well beyond that to seek knowledge and wisdom for its' own sake, and then learn to pass that quest on to others. You have clearly become one of those individuals, and we are all better for our time spent with you (either virtually here on CD, or driving through downtown L.A. in a Mustang convertable with Ashlee S.). Thank you for ketting us have a chance to peer into your experiences and your growth as a student, as a citizen, and as a person. Your presence will be missed, but your insights will persist and make a difference for a very, very long time.
