Nope, FIRST Place didn't exist until '98 or '99.
The way I've been told the story, FIRST the organization was started in 1989 and basically spent the year and a half-ish getting companies involved and raising money/interest in the program they wanted to start, which we now know as FRC.
That's why it's 18 this year & not 20.
However, '11 should be a HUUUUUGE party. Already looking forward to it.
