Re: pic: Who remembers this?
I think sometimes in the English language we get words right. Growing pains is one phrase that I just love. When a program grows like the FIRST programs have - together and separately - it is a challenge to everyone involved, including the event planners and how they are going to make it work.

I wasn't involved in FIRST during the Disney days, but 2 of our mentors were and when they share memories, their faces light up just like this photo. That is what memories of FIRST should be like and hopefully always will be. As programs develop and mature, they smooth out and find their way/their path/their niche. And they become models for others to pattern themselves after. That's a sign of great success.

This photo is a celebration and a wonderful reflection of FIRST's historical beginnings. It's awesome.
