I think this is a good question to ask Dean, and also Woodie for that matter. "Do you browse ChiefDelphi.com"?

We already know that a few other people who (currently/ have in the past) work for and or volunteer for at the highest levels are registered users on CD.

Dave Lavery, Dr. Aidan Browne, and others.

I mean hey, Brandon or Mike Martus (I forget which one - maybe both) even said at the Web-hug in previous years that many hits on CD do come from FIRST HQ web-servers.

Not sure exactly how they found that out, but still.... It adds to my idea that many employees/volunteers at the FIRST HQ look at CD.

Why not Dean?

*And Dean, if you normally don't look at ChiefDelphi.com, and by chance, someone shows you this post, I didn't mean it to be a guilt trip that you don't look at ChiefDelphi.com often, or ever... You just keep making some cool stuff to help people, and keep promoting FIRST, and leave the regular ChiefDelphi.com searching and browsing for new FIRST community news to someone else to relay important discussions to you.


Edit: Now that we know who you chose for the inventor, what invention are you going to focus the report on by the way??
Segway? IBOT? The first wearable infusion pump? The heart stent?

You have a lot of choices.

Well, the assignment that i was given wants me to just kind of talk about the American Dream, and i just thought that this would be amazing way to share the FIRST experience to my classmates and teacher. I think that Dean Kamen has achieved the American Dream, in all its entirety

The greatest invention? Well for me, right now, it has to be the Cardiovascular stent. My grandmother is in the hospital right now recovering from getting a new stent that was designed by Dean Kamen. I can not thank Dean enough. He basically saved my grandmas life today...in a non-direct kind of way. Thanks Dean for all your great life saving inventions!

My roommate went and interviewed him last year for a paper he was writing on the history of FIRST, so this isn't unheard of, but I think it took him a few weeks to get it setup. He even ended up with an internship at DEKA over the summer after getting contacts when he went to do the interview.

I'm sure that there are many other FIRST mentors that are 'living the dream'.
Try the Unsung FIRST Hero list and the Woodie Flowers Award list.
