I for one will never forget the sacrifice he made for our country.

Josh, give me a holler on the phone. I'm in the phone book in Midlothian. Or PM me or something. I'm reasonably sure we've met, but I can be flaky at times. If you know my younger one, Tan, he will attest to that, LOL.
VCU was supposed to let me know about who got the scholarships each year and get us to meet up, but they never did. Ah ,well. Best laid plans and all...
Jon236: Thanks. We do what we do. Some of it works out and some does not work so well. I have good memories of all those hundreds of hours spent each year with the team.
P.S. Josh - Karl was the one who designed that team logo. The fireball sorta thing. We won the unofficial button logo award at the VCU regional two years in a row, while we got our act together. Several years later, we did receive a Motorola quality award for our robot.
