no need to wait- YES- Dr. Flowers was there.

BR2 sponsored an award to honor the memory of our friend from team 103 Dave Beck. Dr Flowers was working with Dave on FIRST related business at the time of his unexpected death and came to know him. He believed that he was presenting the award to some worthy mentor in Dave's memory.

But there was a twist. When Dave was awarded the Woodie Flowers Award in NJ years ago a student from team 303 was quoted as saying "if there was a Dave Beck Award it would go to Woodie Flowers". So the BR2 management thought it fitting to do just that and therefore the first Dave Beck Award was given to our much admired master mentor. Woodie was moved to tears and it was a very special moment.

Later he spent most of the day with us on the teams talking about FIRST and our dreams of it's future. I know I came away from the day with a lot of hope.

there it is in a nutshell-
