FIRST 101 [9/17/05]

[MissInformation]

What a cool idea for telling the history of FIRST! Our head teacher resigned this past year and we put together a scrapbook for him of his 6 or 7 years on the team. We ended up at Dave's house because his wife, Carol, does scrapbooking and offered (was volunteered?) to help us with it. I had photos from 2001 and onward, but we wanted some earlier ones too. Dave brought out stacks and stacks of photos from all the years he's been involved in FIRST, and I finally got to see some photos of games prior to 2000. Wow! I could have spent all night looking at those pictures, they were too cool! The game that involved putting the "donuts" on the spinning coat rack type thing looked like a lot of fun!

Unfortunately, there is usually not enought time to teach a lot of FIRST history to the team, not with everything else they have to learn, but having threads like this one for anyone to read is a good idea!
