Bus accident?

[ralcony]

No reason, I just figured it would be a good place to start. Who exactly would be the person/people to contact to arrange this sort of thing?

My thoughts and prayers are with team 3125.

I am on the GSR planning committee. I will talk to the regional director on Monday about arranging a moment of silence at the GSR. I can also ask her to investigate getting the word out to the rest of the regional directors.

I must say, this is why I love CD. You just never know who is watching.

Team Paragon extends our deepest condolences to the families of all those affected by this senseless tragedy, especially to the family of the Vikas Parikh, who lost his life as a result of the accident.

Our team had just finished watching the game animation and all of our minds were whirling with ideas and excitement when we recieved a call from one of our team members at kickoff in NH, they told us of the accident. We quickly pulled up local news coverage on the web and were instantly stunned at the images and the details posted.

Our team has members from a sister CREC school, the Metropolitan Learning Center, and has had previous student alumni attend GHAMAS, including my youngest son who is now in college in Nashua NH.

I am inspired to read the outpouring of emotion and prayers from the FIRST community. I am confident that Team #3125 will be on everyone's minds and in their hearts throughout this season.

As a rookie team, Team #3125 has a daunting task ahead of them, to mourn, to heal, and to build a robot to compete dedicated to the memory of their lost teammate.

Sincerely,

Dana Susca

Team 178 sends out condolences to Team 3125 and the entire GHAMAS community. Some of our team members did a robot demo and presentation to team 3125 in October to help their recruiting efforts. Other team members are currently or have been students at GHAMAS (it is a magnet school in Hartford that pulls students from all over the greater Hartford region). We are heartbroken that such an exciting day for a new rookie team has been marred by such tragedy.

You are in our thoughts and prayers, and we are just down the road if you need any help during the season.
