Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Bill Miller will be missed by the community. I had the pleasure of having a few conversations with him this past season. He explained where FIRST was on a lot of difficult issues. They were good conversations.
Good Luck Bill. |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Bill,
I can't find the words right now but I hope you know what I am thinking. The Einstein weekend was a great way to get trouble shooters together and discuss ideas. It was one of the most educational weekends I have had in a long time. Thanks for everything, even the things we don't know about yet. |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
My comments from the thread linked below were written the last time I talked to him and before the incident that ended our season. I have a lot of respect for Bill and appreciated that he took the time to listen to members of our team pick apart the games explaining what we thought worked or didn't and why.
He was as interested in what was needed to keep us excited in mentoring and minimize burn out as he was with keeping the kids interested. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ht=bill+miller Edit: Oh and Bill had his secretary send a thank you message to those of us that commented in the thread, so I would say you can safely assume he and his people read CD. Also, Bill I hope you are retiring on your own terms and not because of health/family/other unfortunate reasons. Last edited by Peter Matteson : 21-06-2012 at 08:03. Reason: See above. |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
We will miss you Mr. Miller! Team 1912 greatly enjoyed when you came to visit Bayou Regional in 2011. I am not ashamed that a ran up to you early Thursday morning only to burst out "You've changed my life!"
We have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Merrick through Beta Testing and I am sure his pre-kickoff blogs will continue to give me chills... |

Dear Bill, I didn't know you at all 'til I met you at the Einstein weekend. I loved talking with you, you clearly have a passion and vision for FIRST. You were the consummate professional throughout the whole process, and meeting you was one of the highlights of the weekend. You will be missed,
- Alex |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Bill,
Team 1114 thanks you for everything you've done for the FIRST community and for our team. You've always been willing to listen to our concerns and suggestions, and even taking the time to proactively seek us out when we've experienced issues. This will not be forgotten. On a personal note, I've enjoyed all our conversations at the various events we've attended together. Good luck and much success to you in the future. |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Good Luck Bill! You will certainly be missed. Although most of my interactions were through your Blog. Having met at the Queen City Regional, I will regret having not gotten to know you better.

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Every one of the few times I have spoken with Bill have been nothing short of fantastic. His work to increase the amount and quality of team communication has forever changed FIRST as we know it. Thank you for everything Bill.

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Dear Bill,
We have had the extreme pleasure to meet and talk with you at several regionals and Championships, and at the National Mall a couple of years ago when our Baltimore Team 768, the TechnoWarriors, came to help represent FIRST at the inaugural USA Science and Engineering Festival. You clearly love helping young people realize their goals, and inspire them, as well as all of us mentors. Thank you for all your hard work as Emperor of FIRST. We wish you the best in whatever endeavors and adventures you pursue in the future. Robyn and Fred Needel |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
I got to have several conversations with Bill at the MSC this year. He was often behind the score table near the spare referee seat, and I also spoke to him at a meal. You could really tell that he was committed to making FRC the best that it could be. Thanks for your service, Bill, and best wishes.

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
This past QC regional Bill spent at least 30 minutes talking and asking question of my students in the pits. They were thrilled with his genuine interest in our team and their opinions.
Thanks a lot for all you've done Bill! |

Re: Thank You Bill Miller
Bill,
The first time we met at FTA training, when you had just taken on the role of FRC Director, it was clear immediately that you are passionate about the mission of FIRST, and an experienced leader of engineers -- aka, herder of cats. I enjoyed being one of your cats. We will miss you. Good luck and godspeed in whatever comes next. |
