Mark Koors - Delphi retirement

[Andy Baker]

Congratulations to Mark Koors for retiring from Delphi after 35 years of engineering service.

Mark's ideas and inventions have resulted in many billions of dollars in sales for GM, Delco Electronics, and Delphi over that time.

(yes... billions with a "b")

Today is Mark's first day as a full-time AndyMark employee. I wanted to be the first to congratulate Mark, and also thought that many of you would appreciate hearing this news. Mark has been a mentor and friend to me for the last 11 years, as we both have been mentors on FRC team 45. Mark has helped out many teams and FIRST in Manchester, and even was awarded the 2007 FRC Volunteer of the Year at the Championship Event in Atlanta.

AndyMark is stronger now as Mark's focus is not shared between Delphi and AndyMark. We are both excited to see what happens with this company, and we appreciate the support we have received from all of the FRC teams and community as we have grown over the last 4 years.

Thankful to be Mark's business partner,
Andy Baker
