Please forward my congratulations. It is such a great moment when the light first turns for someone. But when someone can eloquently express their joy in the experience we share, it is truly a special event. Thanks for sharing this touching and real account of what many of us find in this program. You have told one of the best stories about FIRST and thankfully not a unique one. I am so sorry you lost to us in the 2003 finals, I hope we were gracious winners.
