UFH: Dan Larochelle

[Justin]

Congrats to Dan for being named a UFH. Dan is truly a rare breed in FIRST these days. Having known Dan in one way or another, mostly from the River Rage Committee, since 1996 I can say the inspiring thing about him is that his passion and enthusiasm for all things FIRST have not wavered since the days of Hexagon fields and seat-belted human players. And just when you think he's done it all folks he'll go and do something like spearhead EasyC development.

Congrats Dan!

Dan, there are a very few people that are on this earth that give of themselves unselfishly. You are one of them and I, for one am smarter because of you. I hope to continue and grow the relationship between our teams. Sometime, when you're not helping someone out, I'd love to sit down and tell you some more John stories!!

Congrats, Dan!! It was great working with you and your AWESOME team at the camps this summer- And it's always amazing to hear about all that you do!!!

I can't express enough how much you deserve this!

Another great honor for a guy who has done so much for FIRST Robotics. All of us in the New England area have witnessed his efforts for years. Now that Intelitek has shared Easy C with us, all FIRSTteams can appreciate the influence of another wonderful leader.

I must repeat how unselfish Dan and the Trinity Team are. They seem to be as willing as any team to help out other teams at competitions, during the build season and even the off season. Last weekend, they set up an entire FIRST Field and offered an Easy C programming workshop. Hauling in carpet, setting up a field and taking it all down....wow...nothing easy about that !!

Glad to see you got the recognition Dan.....now can I play with your Aim High Vex robots or are the batteries still charging?
