So many people to thank

[Steve Yasick]

I sent this out to my team last week. Last night I realized that I could use the forum to thank many other people for the work you do.


Dear FIRST family:

As many of you know last Wednesday my wife Amy was in a car accident.
She has a broken ankle and bumps a bruises. It is because of engineering that
she is alive today. She drove a 2002 Mazda Protege, and hit a pickup truck
that pulled out in front of her. At the time of impact she was going 40 mph!
Many FIRST sponsors make the parts that saved her life. Both air bags went
off and every part of that car worked to protect her. Some people think that
engineering is boring, that all you do is make stuff. Words cannot express how
thankful I am that engineers figured out how to make a compact car protect a
person in a 40 mph car crash.


Sincerely,
Steve Yasick
