I honestly don't know where my family is from. I don't care either. To me, my roots are that of the Morse, Archimedes, Einstein, and Descartes. Any person that has dramatically changed the history of man deserves a spot in the history that he has changed.
As a fellow mentor, I believe it is our job to not only prepare students for the future. But to also to teach them a deep respect for the past. I sincerely hope that this message is passed on to all the students of FIRST.
Note: I am sure I have no biological tie to any of the great minds mentioned.

I could not agree more..... "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." (George Santayana) As both mentors and parents we need to teach the past, as well as helping them learn the skills that will lead them to the future.
A long the lines of the Delphi web hug, maybe we should get all the Amateur Radio Operators together to promote our hobby to the FIRST community.
