James Tonthat / Texas Torque #1477 is AWESOME!!

***SORRY for the LATE posting here... after the Cow Town ThrowDown I started getting ill which led to an emergency hospitalization with some upcoming surgery to fix the situation... OF COURSE, I'm scheduling surgery _around_ the build-season... ;-)***


Can you imagine the _stress_ we were under almost having to cancel our drive up to Kansas City for the Cow Town ThrowDown because of Victor connectivity problems < http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98081 > with _less than_ one day till we had to begin our fifteen hour drive OR not go at all...

THEN, out of nowhere we're contacted by James Tonthat who's up in Austin over 90 minutes drive away and offers to come THAT DAY all-the-way down to San Antonio to help our rookie team out!!

HOW do you properly express with words HOW _awesome_ it was of James to do this?!

WHAT is it about this FIRST FRC program that attracts folks like James who go to that extent to help a competitor?!

It's one of the things that makes me more enamored with this program as we experience more and more...

James, THANK YOU so much for taking valuable time from your studies to spend the evening/night helping our team overcome a major problem...

You and your team, Texas Torque #1477, are exemplars of Gracious Professionalism and being off-the-charts helpful!!
