Can you imagine how different FIRST would be without the influence, the practical contributions, and the visionary wisdom of Dave Lavery? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what a dark gaping hole of emptiness that would leave us and it would be difficult to fill and illuminate in the manner we have become accustomed to: with bananas and clownfish.
Congratulations, Dave. One of the pit crew in 418 told me that you had won and I was thrilled:
a. because he knew and remembered
b. that it is such a spectacular recognition of your on-going work and achievements
