Early Gracious Professionalism?

[Ken Loyd]

Over the past seven years I do not remember anyone ever saying, "Today we will start gracious professionalism!" I believe it is something that was always there but did not have a name. I think I caught it from Woodie (it is so hard not to call him Dr. Flowers) or maybe Dean or perhaps Dave L. (at our only trip to VCU) or it might have been from Jason or Ken L. I guess what I am trying to say is that GP is inside all of us just waiting for a chance to escape.

I am sure how the virus spread. I put the blame solely on the shoulders of Chief Delphi. These forums are ripe with the infection. Readers (also known as hardcore FIRSTers) carry the disease to the four corners of the world. Thank goodness there is no Dr. Jonas Salk looking for a cure.

For the more historic view, I think I remember Woodie using the phrase at the opening of Nationals at Epcot in 2000.
