UFH: Wayne Penn

[KathieK]

Finally, Wayne had a bit of advice for his fellow FIRST participants. "It is the people in FIRST that make FIRST such a great organization. Take every opportunity that you can to meet and talk to students and mentors from your team and others alike. Everyone has a story to share or a lesson to be conveyed. Take the time also to show your appreciation for the diverse and dynamic group of people that you are privileged to call mentors, teammates, or FIRST friends. Remember, it is your actions, what you learn, and what you share with others on an everyday basis that defines you in FIRST, not what you will win or have won."

Another gem of advice to add to my cubicle wall. Thank you and congratulations, Wayne!

Congratulations Wayne. It's about time and you deserve it.

For those of you that don't know Wayne, he has been a class act since he was a high school student. Believe it or not, when I first met Wayne he was a shy, not very talkative, Junior in High School. While on the ThunderChickens he grew into an outspoken, passionate leader. Good luck on your new endeavors Wayne.

Way to go Wayne!!!!

Congratulations to a well-served recognition.

Thanks for everything you do, every person you have touched, and, recently, for being a fantastic emcee at the Duel on the Delaware!

Go Wayne!

Congrats, Wayne, this is very well-deserved.

I had the priveledge of meeting Wayne at the Pittsburgh regional last year, when he was pulling double duty as the MC and coach for 395. Hopefully I'll get to compete with them again; they really impressed me.
