Way to go Al

Congratulations, Al. Just think what you'll achieve when you're at 100% again.

[Richard Wallace]

Well deserved, Big Al! You're an inspiration to all of us who keep on inspecting robots as the seasons come and go. Thank you for reminding us why we do it.

[Matt Stemple]

It was great working with Al as an RI this season and on Galileo at champs. I learned a ton from him and I know Al made my first Champs experience and many others a memorable one. Thank you Al.

Congratulations!

Al has set an awesomely high bar for future VoY's aspirations. I didn't know this mesh vest thingie would be legal. Looking for a logoloc version for next year. I needs them pockets!

It was a pleasure being inspected by 'Big Al' himself last year, the only surprise here is that he hadn't won it already.

[Alan Anderson]

Al really puts his heart into FIRST.




Sorry about that.

My first thought when I heard about the award was "What took them so long?"

Congratulations AL

Big Al,

Mere congratulations are not enough. Many people in the FIRST community see you at so many competitions, and, of course, many know who you are at those competitions. Yet, I suspect the vast majority don’t know how tirelessly you work behind the scenes for all of us and the impact you have on each and every team in FRC. I sincerely thank you for all you do for all of us. Thank you for the opportunities you have given me personally, the wisdom and experience you have imparted to me over the years, and the privilege to work with you at Championships again this year. Your guidance and leadership are inspiring. I am grateful to call you my boss and honored to call you my friend. Now that Champs are over, take some well earned time off to rest and recoup and spend with Dottie. You deserve a vacation!

Congrats,
Chuck
