Re: Paul Shay Resigining as Executive Director of FIRST
I too will miss Paul Shay. I believe he was a great leader for FIRST. However, out of respect for the situation, speculating on why he chose to move on in a public forum may not be the best idea, especially when we don't have all of or even accurate information. In this case FIRST "owes" us no more information. As a matter of fact, their quick response in finding an interim replacement, and desire to inform all of us so quickly is to be commended.

If you'd like to wish Mr. Shay good luck or thank him for his time here, that would be fantastic, but let's not turn this into a public discussion about his decision and motives because that amounts to trying to throw darts blindfolded. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Shay, you'd know the profound respect he holds (and will continue to hold) for all FIRST participants and staff. Let's demonstrate the same in return.
