I just saw a teeny clip on CNN of George Bush making a speech in front of a big silver-colored FIRST logo. I don't quite understand when and who he was talking to, but it's pretty cool. :-Dan

Gov. Bush did a townmeeting at FIRST Place in Manchester on 12/8, basically he wanted to learn more about Dean and what the program has done to make math and science exciting, The Lego league from Weare NH set up their stuff and Central/osram vs jesse Remington gave a robotics demonstration. Dean was cruising around the whole evening in his IBOT(spiffy new wheelchair invention of his) and we got free pizza but then we had to listen to the political speech as well.....it wasn't the end of the world and it was worth putting up with the political part to see Dean's invention.....but don't forget 'FIRST is NOT POLITICAL' so they say......but anything that will help promote FIRST is fine with me.
