[Al Skierkiewicz]

Jeremiah,
I feel that making the terms more official lends credence to that belief that these terms have meaning for us in the organization and it gives us something of a handle to explain our purpose and general method of conduct to others outside of the organization. I use these terms almost daily when speaking to others about the competition and the way we treat each other. Those who have never heard of First can now take away a term, a phrase, a mental reminder, that there is something that is competitive and yet shares information and celebrates science and technology.
