Woohoo!

Congrats, Dave!

Re: D.Lavery wins ASME Church Medal

Dave,

When I met you last year at Kickoff, you were the first FIRST staff I had ever introduced myself to, and the one I was most nervous about. I am incredibly thankful that I did. Congratulations - although no written post on a message board can do this 'congrats' justice.
