Re: John Burns, 1944-2008
Of all the people I know in FIRST, John was most definitely a person who "got it." He was very proud of his students. Not only was he proud of what they had accomplished, he was proud of what they were going to accomplish.
Every time I saw him he shared this pride of his students. At the events, my conversations with him were usually very brief, as he wanted his students to speak more than himself.
I have learned a lot from John. And I am sure I will continue to learn from him.
