Re: Congratulations 1114, 217 and 148
This has been an amazing season and I will remember it for the rest of my life. I am so proud of all the Simbots. You worked so hard all season long, yet managed to keep it fun. You are my extended family and the joy on all of your faces on Saturday will stay with me forever.

Thank you to team 217 and 148. It was a privilege being aligned with you. Your teams are a model of professionalism.

John and Paul, it was an honor to be coaching with the likes of you two. Let's do it again some time.

Thanks to FIRST, the GDC and especially the referees. Your jobs were next to impossible this year. As a former hockey referee, I know that every call is wrong and right depending on which side of the field you ask. Thanks for taking the abuse and calling it like you see it.

Finally, thank you to Christine and Abby, the two loves of my life. Your support during the busy FIRST season is unbelievable. You are the best.
