I'll second the congratulations! My family has been involved for 5 years now with Team 74-Holland CHAOS, and most importantly Ken and his fabulous team of coaches and mentors. Ken is one of the most giving people I know, and his almost limitless generosity and contagious love for FIRST is unmatched. CHAOS has had an awesome season this year, and it's wonderful to know that we'll be going to St. Louis not only to represent Michigan on the Championship field, but to also cheer on Michigan's Woodie Flowers recipient!

Way to go Ken-the Refresh Family is very proud of you!
