I met Pat in the 558 pit and had no idea your son wasn't a born and bred member of the 558 team.
He obviously belonged.
His love of programming and limitless optimism carried him right through various problems. Just wait to see the IR he has running for the off-season competitions!
558 is a great team with a great Woodie Flowers mentor in Ernie (with no small support from Denise as well
).
