[1986titans]

I just requested it from the library. It looks like a few other people have already done the same.

This is fantastic, best way to get the word out since national newspapers are for some reason reluctant to write about feel-good stories.

If anybody can suggest other team facebook pages for me to "Like" and share with, post here or email me direct at nbascomb@me.com

I have twittered/facebooked my heart out about it! The book is fantastic. I was a driver during Galileo's eliminations and remember watching all the teams mentioned perform. I am proud to show this off as a representation of the program we're all so passionate about. Thank you for portraying us so well!

Sorry we beat you Libby =P

Of course thanks to Neal for including our team, but he already knows that. I sped-read all the 1717 parts last night, it's awesome. Anyone in FIRST will understand and enjoy the story. Anyone not in FIRST will certainly be impressed.

I changed my FB profil pic and posted everything to FB and my team's website. Oh, and I just ordered a copy of the book. I can't wait to read it!

Alex, this is fantastic. Thanks. If you would, please send around this Chief Delphi post to your teammates--and to any friends on others teams. This way we get everybody working together.

Hope you love the book! N

I was thrilled to see a student walk into my class this morning carrying a copy of the book. I didn't even realize it was out yet. I guess if my students are reading it I'll have to get a copy.

You missed one opportunity - I bought two copies to circulate through my company's management, I see it as a great tool for getting my company more engaged in FIRST! I highly recommend this approach for all mentors and teachers. Great book, Neal - it magically appeared on my Kindle yesterday - gotta love pre-ordering!

Thanks for the idea, Dan. Yes, by all means, please use the book to pass to colleagues, management at your company.

Another idea suggested to me yesterday was to have teams give copies as gifts to physics/math teachers at their local schools to promote the start of FIRST teams.

Keep'em coming and please spread this Delphi thread to other mentors/students/teams.

I just finished reading up to ship. This book puts into words how FIRST is and could make anyone who hasn't experienced it appreciate what its all about.

That's great. You can suggest the library to order another copy, and for schools who do not have copies available, please suggest they order a copy for their stacks. Hope you enjoy.
