THanks for a great Duel on the Delaware

[Mr MOE]

Lots of Thanks are necessary for an event like this. Unfortunately, not everyone can be thanked personally. Here are a few of the people who made the Duel special:

Bill Clark and Salem Community College
Even without your lobby and concession area, together we figured out a way to make this year's Duel work. NOTE: Salem Community College Received the DUEL HERO award this year for their support to hold the event at the Field House despite all the facilities work.

Rob Thate and NASA
Once again, NASA provides the opportunity for many of us to hold off-season events. Thanks so much!

Bob Dudek, Duel Planning Team Leader
Bob was instrumental on developing the plan for the tent concessions area and in implementing the competition field change when FMS Light was having problems. Great job!

Peggy Beattie, Volunteer Coordinator
Even though she was not present the day of the Duel, Peggy was the driving force for our 120 great volunteers for this event.

Joe Perrotto, FIRST Tech Challenge PlayDay Lead
Joe is not only a member of the FTC Game Design Committee, but he built the official field in his basement and had it available to any FTC team who wanted to use it on Saturday. Thanks, Joe!

Scott and Chrissy George, Team 316
Scott and Chrissy loaned the Duel the use of their RV for concessions support, Chrissy ran the concessions show, and Scott fabricated all of the special Duel Awards trophies. Awesome job!

Susan McNeil, Success Won't Wait
Success Won't Wait has become part of the Duel on the Delaware the past few years. Thanks to all team members, who donated books (and sneakers) and to Susan and her crew for packing them up and distributing them to those in need.

Paul Dennis (Team 1719), Wayne Penn (DEKA), Chris Gregory (Team 1089), and Pete Kieselbach (Duel FTA), Sunny (Head Ref)
Thanks for working so hard to overcome the challenges of the day. You guys were fantastic.
