Whatever Happened to the Old Chief Delphi?

[Mike Martus]

Wow! This is one of the weirdest threads yet on CD.......

At the start I was set back in my chair trying to understand the comments... then it changed... then it changed again skirting many subjects.

I truly believe what we are seeing, like Rich has said is a mirror of the stress of the current world.... mine included....I mean who would have thought that after 37 years of teaching I would get layed off..... who would have thought that Team 65 and Team 47 would be forced to merge due to the closing of a school..... who would have thought that I would be in the 6th week of school (I was rehired after a hard battle) and I would still have NO classroom materials, tools, equipment and it is all sitting at the old school waiting for persons un-named to ship it to the new school.... who would have thought....

Stresses like these influence a persons attitudes... and yes posts (like mine... I am very sorry) where they just need to vent.

We cannot see all that is impacting the "Community of FIRST" however we should all take a second and extend a little understanding, a little tolerance and continue to support each other.

Now more than ever the Community of FIRST needs each other and the support system it has developed over the past 14 years. Many great comments, many great answers and many great people all sharing a vision to make the world a better place...... each in their own small way.
