Thanks for pointing this out, Karen. I should have noticed that both the FIRST Founder and the FIRST Chairman contributed to the quoted statement -- especially considering that both gentlemen are pictured at the top of the page, and both names appear below the statement. 
John Abele certainly deserves much more recognition than he gets.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
