I've been on this forum for a while now. I can't even remember when I started and I don't even remember what my first message was about, but what I do remember from my first days as a part of this forum were the insights and thoughts that people like Joe and Mr.B came up with. I'd check this website everyday to see what lessons I could learn from these two great guys as well as others to what FIRST really means. As a student in 96 and 97 I remember thinking that FIRST was such a great thing but could never really express what it meant to me and how much it meant to me I remember sitting here and reading a message by Mr.B that must have been 5-10 minutes long and by the time I was done it gave me a whole new persepctive on things. it made me think about things that never even crossed my mind. the next day I come back to my favorite website and Joe had written a long response to Mr.B's letter and it put me in awe. I was in awe that these two people could write a passage that gets to the heart and soul of whatever they were talking about, that what they said could leave me sitting here thinking to myself for hours and hours. Is was mostly these two gentlemen that got me hooked on FIRST, what FIRST really means, and definately hooked on this Delphi web site. Since those days, more and more people, most of them students, new and old, are using this website to the best of their ability and they are writing eloquent speeches that are exactly what FIRST is about.. they are using there minds and expressing themselves in ways I never thought was possible the first time I stepped into the New Hampshire college gym in 1996 as a first year member of a rookie team named TJē. I want to thank everyone who uses these forums and expresses exactly what they feel in such a gracious manner. and I want to thank Joe Johnson and Mike Bastoni for showing me what it means to be part of a program like FIRST. As I go into my 6th year as a member of my team, I remember back to when i thought FIRST was just a competition and something to do. Now I look back at all the friends I've made and all the great times I've had and all the discussions I've had on this web site and I think to myself how lucky I am to be a part of it. Thanks Everyone
