 From a coaching standpoint, I can tell you...the coach is NOTHING without valuable scout information. If the coach is nothing, the robot is NOTHING. It all starts from the scouts...get your kids to see this. - Brandon Holley [more] |

Jared:
I bet you are an amazing son as well, being raised by such a great dad. This post made me cry.....and made me a little bit jealous too. Welcome your dad to the wonderful world of FIRST mentors for me

Re: Something for my Dad
Thank you everyone for the kind responses you all posted. My father just read this last night actually, and i saw a smile come across his face.
Next step: get my dad to join CD so you can all talk to him!

Re: Something for my Dad
Also, here's a photo of my and my dad while we were at St. Louis. This was taken at dinner at the hotel. My father was sitting with all of the mentors, and I saw that he fit right in.

Re: Something for my Dad
Jared,
You are not alone! I was in a very similar situation some 7 years ago. I was the new guy on 1403, loving it and getting some serious exposure to the engineering world thanks to some of our technical mentors. My Dad got the chance to chaperon a trip to the New Jersey Regional and well since the 1403 has never been the same. He too is a business guy, he got a degree back in the day in Accounting but always was the handyman wherever he was. So gear ratios and aluminum malleability wasn't his thing, but that hasn't helped him from revising countless chairman's, business proposals, as well as being mentor lead for the strategy, scouting and drive teams. There is a lot to do outside of touching the robot... just ask NEMO!

Re: Something for my Dad
This has been one of the greatest posts that I have ever read on this forum. There are to few people who don't thank people like this. I wish I could have the same experience that you are having right now.
Good luck in the next season.
