[Gary Dillard]

Congratulations Mrs. Lee, er... Ms. Chen, er..., Sorry Pat, I still can't get it right.

I can sum up Pat's contributions to our team and FIRST very simply: "somebody has to step up to the plate".

Typical S.P.A.M mentor conversation:

Random mentor: "I can't be at <fill in the blank>, can someone cover for me?"

>insert moment of awkward silence here<

Pat: "I can do it".

We all share the load pretty equally, but Pat usually carries her share plus a little of everyone elses. Thanks for all you do.
