Re: GP? I think not.

Thank you guys...I feel a group hug coming on....lets keep AJ out of it though???? Ok, Thats really not possible! Even in years we sucked we had a blast, well not right away though.
I could tell you stories of kids who are engineers today who were on our first years team in the 1056 days. Three sat with our team in Honolulu and said they were shocked how good we were doing because we never did that well back then....That hurts! You don't have to have a winning program to let FIRST have an amazing effect on kids.
Am I still on topic??? I've got to get back to work and input my 3rd quarter grades......

BTW, I was sitting next to the DJ when YMCA came on in Honolulu and he was in such shock he picked up his video camera to film it and said something like he's never seen 1500 nerdy kids dancing to their anthem.
