Dave Lavery in Esquire

[Wetzel]

The December issue of Esquire is hitting newstands near you (yse it is still early November). The cover story is thus:

The Best & Brightest
A special issue devoted to introducing a few dozen people who are changing our world. Saving our cities. Unlocking secrets of science and medicine. Creating new industries. Imagining new worlds. Their work will astonish and inspire a new generation. Featuring an introductory essay on leadership in America by Bill Clinton

If we look to page 172, what do we find?

172 Dave Lavery
The NASA scientist who is leading mankind on a mission to Mars.
[ By Scott Raab ]

That is from the Esquire website. I will be picking up a copy at work tomorrow and will let you know what I find.

Now go forth and buy that which is Esquire.

If there are any poster of FIRST, Dave should definitely be on one of them. Congratulation Dave!

Now I can brag to my friends about having met Dave Lavery and sat in his car .

Does the article mention anything about his experiments with certain gastric delights?

Congratulations Mr. Beans!

Thanks, all, for the comments.

The preparation for the article was very strange to go through. It is a little bizzare to have your own personnal "shadow" for four days at a time. But the writer (Scott Raab) was very cool, and did a pretty good job of capturing some of the "flavor" of a FIRST competition at the beginning of the article (but he didn't have to mention the part about certain speeds on Route 295!).

Hey, here's where Mr. Beans (thanks MissTree, I really like that nickname) gets all of his brightest and best ideas:




Thanks Dave, I've been waiting for the right thread to post this one in! And congratulations, you deserve it!

You know, I've sat here for five minutes, trying to decide if I should really post this or not, and while one little voice is saying "no, don't do it, it's wrong..." and all that, another little voice is saying "come on... why not?" No, I'm not insane, one of the voices is Eric's, the other is mine... and since I'm home sick and have a fever and all that fun stuff, I think I have to listen to Eric...
