UFH: Mark Breadner

[shyra1353]

I second what Steve said ...

Thanks so much for bringing FIRST to Canada .. running such an awesome regional the two years I have been involved ..

And on a more personal level, thank you very much for all the help you gave me this year with starting my team and helping me find sponsors. If it hadnt been for you, 1353 wouldn't have made it to the kickoff.

Thanks again .. Congratulations .. and Very Well Deserved ...

[Mr. Lim]

Can anyone else claim to have had a hand in starting as many teams in the past 2 years as this man? I doubt it.

Can anyone else claim they were more responsible for bringing FIRST to Canada? Despite having to butt-heads with an existing, although inferior for-profit robotics competition? No.

This is the man who all but ensured I could pay for university by helping me secure more than $50000 US in scholarships.

But you don't need me to tell you any of this stuff. All you need to do is come to one of the Canadian Regionals next year, and see first hand what this man has achieved in such little time.

Congratulations Mr. B! and be proud of the legacy you've created...


P.S. Jon said: I would argue his signature quote should really be "ugly may win," which refers to robot design.

I absolutely agree... and in this case, it goes to show "ugly may win" applies for UFH too!

Mark,

You are an inspiration to us all and you greatly deserve this recognition. Way to go!

Sincerely,
Andy B.
