Thanks for the congrats Katie! You are a living legacy of what we want our team to be about. Graciousness above all else. You've carried it with you to the great white north - you make us proud!
I would also like to thank everyone involved in making the second Wisconsin Regional a smashing success. All of the volunteers had smiles on their faces and were there when you needed them.
Tyler and Ryan - what a great team you make. You kept it lively every step of the way. Nice hat, Tyler!
John Budish - you did it again! Another awesome regional in the land of cheeseheads. Thanks for listening and explaining. You are one of a kind. Now how do we get the name changed?
Frank and the rest of the reffing crew - you guys did the tough job with a lot of class. I haven't seen that many "belly checks" since Raising the Bar!
THe Fondy Fire - Team 2194 - your energy and enthusiasm for FIRST has re-energized our team. We can't wait to work with you in Atlanta! Way to go rookies!!! Thank you for allowing us the privilege to work with a team that was hungry for the challenge and fun of FIRST and already gets what it is all about.
The safety crew - for listening to my rants about machine use in the pits. I hope I didn't offend anyone. I just wanted to undestand "why".
Kevin Kolodziej - congrats on the Woodie Flowers win. You never cease to amaze me in the numerous ways you find to share your enthusiasm for FIRST. The entire community is fortunate to have you around.
Alumni of team 93 - mentoring teams 93 (that's right - we've come full circle), 171 and 857. You get what FIRST is all about and your sharing it with others. You are always welcome to return to your roots!
Team 93 mentors - I can't thank you enough for what you do for our kids. Your patience and dedication are second to none. I can't wait for West Michigan and Atlanta - we're going to have a ball!!
