Amen. Those days are missed, as that is a casualty of having more teams in FIRST. While those were "the good old days", having more teams is better (imo).

Eric has been a valuable contributor at FIRST ever since the beginning, and he seems to enjoy being behind the scenes. Therefore, he is the ideal "Unsung FIRST Hero". All of us owe gratitude to Eric, as the robot controller, field controller, robot software, scoring system (the old ones, not recent), event planning (the technical portion), and other parts of FIRST have all benefitted from Eric's expertise. All of FIRST has Eric to thank, and many FIRSTers don't know who he is. This recognition is a good start.

Congrats, Eric.

Does anyone have a pic of Eric with his "fish tie" he used to wear at WDW?
