[Billfred]

I, William Leverette, got my start in FVC by filling out a form on VIMS, which I followed up on by emailing Lynn Casey, FIRST's volunteer resources manager at the time. She forwarded that email to Karen Smith, who was the FVC Program Coordinator at the time. That email resulted in an email to Lamar Tisdale, the contact at South Carolina State University for the 2006 FVC Orangeburg pilot tournament. This information was ultimately passed onto Gail Johnson, who ultimately made the volunteer assignment and handled volunteer training (although I had to miss it, as I had class and Orangeburg is an hour away from me). It was at this tournament that I first served as a judge, and it was also where I first met Donn Griffith, who served on this year's FVC game design committee with one Rich Kressly, who told everyone shortly before Atlanta to rub the nearly-bald head of JVN.
