UFH: Amanda Morrison

[Bill Gold]

Congratulations Amanda! It’s about time! I really don’t know what to say because I know my words will pale in comparison to my positive thoughts and feelings towards Amanda. I’ve conversed with Amanda for what seems like years and years, but in reality we’ve probably only really gotten to know each other over the past year or year and a half. She’s an awesome person who runs herself ragged working on so many things that she believes in, FIRST being one of them. I’m very thankful to have met you at The Championship this past year, albeit only for short intervals of time. Thanks again for coming and getting dinner in Chicago when I was there back in June. That was a blast. Time is short for me right now, but thank you again for all you’ve helped me with and enjoy this honor, which is long overdue.

Amanda,
I don't know what to say. You know how I feel about UFH and to see you finally honored in such a way brings tears to my eyes. When an event takes place anywhere in the Midwest it seems like you are there. You are calm under pressure and you know people you can count on and you get the job done. Anyplace would be lucky to get you, but I am glad you make First your home away from home. You may have doubted yourself a few years ago but we knew you had a great and wonderful future then and we are even more sure now. I can only hope the best for you in the future. Congratulations!!!!!

About time. Congratulations! Your contributions to the FIRST community have been greatly appreciated.

[Tim Delles]

Congrats Amanda. Thanks for inspiring everyone.

[Rich Kressly]

Imagine that. Someone who set out to recognize the inspiration of others, gets recognized in the process. It really doesn't ever get much better than that in life. Amanda, you certainly are a special person and you provide an incredible example for all of us to follow.

Namaste

All the special thoughts that everyone is sharing in no way can amount to all you have given to the Community of FIRST.

Over the years I have known you I have always valued the insight and dedication you show all who come in contact with you. You are a friend, you are a leader, you are a very special young lady.

enough said.........not really but I will stop....for now anyway.

Congrats, Amanda!

I don't normally post in these threads unless I've met the honoree personally and seen what they do first-hand, but in this case I'll gladly make an exception, because you are most certainly deserving of this recognition!

Amanda's dedication to FIRST is amazing. It seems like she's always working on a new FIRST related project. Amanda, I'm glad that you're finally getting some well deserved recognition for all your amazing efforts. You're an amazing FIRST and an even better person. Congratulations!

Congrats Amanda.... I guess you're pretty alright....
Yeah - I'm leaving the sentimental stuff to everyone else...

Don't go thinking this will spare you from the old footage I've recently found of you..... :rubs hand together:

In one word- finally. I love seeing people who do good things get what they deserve. Amanda, you deserve it, enjoy your fame!
