Thank you to all of the FIRST Senior Mentors for everything that you have done and will do in the future.

I second that! I'd also like to add THANK YOU to all of them for being the level-headed ones who calm me when I get upset, and who patiently answer my millions of questions, e-mails and phone calls. A wonderful group of people!

If the FIRST Senior Mentor program is ending - I'm assuming funding is root cause - this is not good.
As FIRST expands and develops, it will need - more - Senior Mentors .. not zero. Senior Mentors are key to the development of rookie teams in our different areas and in helping them learn how to establish themselves and grow.

And, Senior Mentors' eyes twinkle and sparkle - even after a long exhausting competition.

Thanks for everything,
Jane
