What is your new position?
What city are you moving to?
You look 5 years younger without the beard.
Congrats!

I think it's a great opportunity. The employer is Whirlpool Corporation and the job title is global technology leader for electric motors. The office is in Benton Harbor, but I'm not sure where my family and I will be living yet. Any suggestions?

Richard, congratulations! You look great. Missouri's loss is Michigan's gain. I'm with Andy, what's the scoop?

I'm excited about moving to Michigan, and a little bit unsure what I'll be doing for FIRST there. Right now my plan is to volunteer at the St. Louis FTC Championship tournament this coming weekend, which will be my last in St. Louis for a while. And I will still come to St. Louis to volunteer as FTA in March.
As for the beard, it was about time for that to go. My chin had not seen the light of day since the the 80's.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
