Jim is my division director, and a great supporter of FIRST, BotBall, BEST, the NASA Robotics Academy, and many other programs. Jim and I both work for Ed. Ed is one of the greatest unsung heroes of this community. He has gone to bat to get (and restore) resources to support this effort at levels that very few will ever know. He has laid his (and my) job on the line to make some of this stuff happen.
You may not see either of their names frequently within the FIRST community, but without their advocacy and support NASA would not be able to participate at anywhere near the level that we do.
