Farewell to FIRST President Jon Dudas

[dcarr]

This seems like somewhat of an unusual time for such a change, but I'm sure the 2013 season has been fully planned out for quite some time now and will run as smoothly as usual. Thanks Jon for your great leadership, you've helped FIRST change the lives of many.

Call me maybe?

While the timing is a bit interesting, I think it would be unfair to ask for detailed information about decisions that are very personal. If something larger is afloat I think we'll see that on our own in future months and years. As it is, I have the utmost confidence in FIRST and it would take Dean or Woodie severing their ties to shake that.

Certainly, I don't expect to know everyone's personal reasons for leaving.

I do, however, believe that HQ should be transparent to us, the volunteers that make this organization great, about nearly everything. I don't believe that they are nearly as transparent as they should be.

I further believe that we're nowhere near done with what happened on Einstein yet, either.

In any case, whatever the reasons are, thanks Jon, for your years of service to us.

Agreed, I hope not - I hope we continue to see changes and improvements.
