Re: Kansas City Regional
Doing Dean's homework pays off!
Dean Kamen made an appearance between the semi-final matches to introduce a special visitor to the KC Regional: Kansas Congressman Dennis Moore!
Congressman Moore admitted he knew nothing about FIRST when he stopped in for what was going to be a 45-minute visit. Three hours later, he proclaims "Dean is a Rock Star"! Congressman Moore said he would invite Dean to meet with Congress to talk about FIRST. What the Congressman saw there in KC convinced him that FIRST is the kind of program the US needs to remain competitive in the world. I think Congressman Moore "gets FIRST"!!
