Re: UFH: Greg Needel
Hey Greg - A BIG Congratulations to a well deserved passionate FIRST-aholic! I've known Greg for some time now and he's always been motivated and inspiring to me. We've gone through some interesting times in and out of FIRST. I still think one of the best times was building a BattleBot out of his basement room (ever try welding on top of a washing machine?) and then spending a night sleeping on the concrete floor at the X-CATS site trying to fix the bot after it's flipper & busted 2.5" Bore Pneumatic cylinder flew 20 feet across the arena in one of our matches. {I'm sure Mr. Baker & Mr.Mark remember that interesting moment too.}
But either way - I was pleasantly surprised since this was my first time logging back in to CD after a 2 year Grad school hiatus- (3 more weeks and counting...), that I saw Gregs Photo on the UFH. I knew I had logged in tonight for a special reason and this was definitely it!
Once more, congratulations to a passionate enthusiast, an innovative thinker, and most of all my friend.
Keep up the great work no matter where you are I'm sure we'll chill soon!
Ellery
