FIRST Celebrity Status

[bEdhEd]

I was thinking about how certain people who participate in FIRST attain such great reputations as leaders, mentors, engineers, or overall just fantastic people, and how they gain such a following. Is it their enthusiasm, their knowledge, their availability, or is it something more unique? I'm talking about the people that a majority or a large number of the FIRST or at least FRC community knows of. I would like to know your input on what you think makes a person in FIRST stand out in a sea of already outstanding people!
