Re: Thank You 111 and 67!
I felt the desire to post one more thing on this thread. The amazing experience that was Atlanta has continued since we have been home. It has made me feel that although our team has been around for a few years we are still very much rookies. We have been touched by 254’s generosity in the past but the outpouring of support from this community has been tremendous.

We had some things to overcome this year and so for our young team to even go to Atlanta was amazing and to be chosen to be on the winning alliance was more than we could believe possible. But it didn’t stop then. From Paul Copioli making a point to tell our whole team after the finals that we made a difference on our alliance to all the complimentary things said about our team in this forum, the experience has just continued. I happened to run into our school superintendent the other day and he told me that he had been receiving emails of congratulations from people he didn’t know and that he thought one of them was from somewhere in Illinois.

I have always been impressed with the way that FIRST teams help each other but this experience has raised it to a new level in my eyes. I only hope that someday our little team can rise to that level of graciousness.
