person with ideas/suggestions that no one gets - this could be a book.

water balloon mischief maker - I stayed up all night one night filling water balloons and putting them in tubs in my SUV til I didn't have room for any more. I told the team I couldn't come for build on Saturday a.m. ahead of time but showed up just as they were coming out of the shop and started lobbing water balloons at them. They all joined in, had a great time, and we went out to lunch. (It was awesome going over bumps in the road and hearing some of the balloons burst as I was driving. That was so cool.)

tree-climbing expert - one year the graduating seniors donated trees to create a green space behind our shop. I kept the trees in my back yard until it was time to plant. The team leader had never climbed a tree before and wanted to know what the rope was in our tree in our front yard - so he got a lesson on how to swing on a rope and how to climb a tree. I have a photo of him perched at the very top of our tree, smiling.

person who always gets lost yet always arrives on time - I always get lost which can be bad when I'm lead driver, hauling the trailer with a caravan of cars behind me. But we always arrive on time, somehow.

saver of stuff - sometimes the students make primitive mock-ups or prototypes of ideas they have and then they discard them, throw them away. Or they make a cool template and it finds its way to the trash. Or they make something out of wood or metal or whatever they're messing with, zipties... I rescue all of these from the trash and take them home for 'safe keeping'. My family never knows what is going to be on the kitchen table.
