Congrats UTC WFFA Paul Kloberg

[Rich Kressly]

Wow,

Paul is one of my oldest FIRST friends and someone I've always felt was deserving of this recognition. He started 303, he started 1403, he (along with Wayne Cokeley) got so many more NJ teams started it's mind blowing. Where'd the idea and promotion of the "Pre-Rookie" concept come from? Paul and NJ. Who once drove 50+ miles on a snow day to a different school district superintendent's office (who he never had met) to get a signature on a NASA grant form for a new potential rookie? Paul did. Paul was the definition of "Senior Mentor" way before the position ever existed. Oh, yeah, he's a pretty darn good FTA too.

...and let's not forget the thing Paul always reminds us of at competition when things start to get a little stressful, "FIRST: Fun Is Required. So Tolerate!"
