WFA: Andrew Baker

[JVN]

Baker for president?

Anyways, I just wanted to post and say how thrilled I am that we got this feature up and running. I'm excited that we get to recognize the WFA winners who have had such an impact on this community.

I'm also glad we get to lead off with my friend Andy Baker, who... as you all know, is... the man.

Everyone knows why Andy is great, and I don't really have any stories to add... He has always been there to show me support, and mentor me. I'm glad to be his friend, and glad for the things he's taught me.

I'd like to take the time to share this:

This is the thread that was started to Congratulate and Thank Andy when he won the WFA last year.

It always brings a smile to my face when I see the huge outpouring of support and congratulations for Andy that took place in this thread. I actually go back in, and re-read it when I've had a particularly negative FIRST day, or when I've seen something so deplorable on this forum that makes me wonder why I post here.

It is uplifting, and great to see Andy for what he is.
A pillar, and hero of FIRST and the FIRST community.

So again,
Thank you Andy and Congratulations.

Your friend,
John

PS - Ohh... and that is definitely the cutest UFH pic we've ever seen.
