Re: Sad news about Team 39's Ken Loyd
Ken was one of those wonderful people that became part of the FIRST infrastructure. Whether working with his team, or staffing a competition event, or providing his wisdom on these forums, he provided continuous support to the entire FIRST community. He had the dedicated focus to just make things happen. Without fanfare, he solved problems, provided answers, and made sure things worked. One might be tempted to overlook these contributions, because no recognition was requested or required. But the reality is that this program flourishes because Ken, and all those like him, make it successful. And it was while doing that Ken made perhaps his greatest contribution - reminding us that FIRST is about the people, and not the robots. Ken, we will miss you.
