 I frequently summarize the core mission of FIRST as inspiring the smartest high school kids to study science and engineering, so they don't become lawyers. (It's about 70% in jest) - MikeE [more] |

Re: UFH: Mike Walker
I met Mike at a FIRST Robotics competition. He doesn't remember meeting me that day... but I remember him. Maybe it was the glare from his bright orange shirt and green hair that prevented him from being able to take in those around him? Or maybe it was just the tunnel vision through which he sees the world. A tunnel through which only complete determination exists.
Throughout the seven years that I've continued to know him, he has spread this tunnel wider and wider - and now it seems as though there is no detail that will go unnoticed to him, especially if it needs improvement. He may not know at first exactly how to fix it; unlike most people, however, that won't stop him from calling it to the attention of those around him. He lives to improve his world. And at the heart of it: what else is an engineer, really? Congrats Miket!!!! I'm so proud of you!

Re: UFH: Mike Walker
I don't know whos happier Mike that he won the award or me knowing Mike Walker won UFH. Mike since the first day I met him has been a inspiriing breath of fresh air in FIRST. Always willing to help and go the extra mile for everyone, no one deserves this more then Mike Walker. Congratulations to a man who is really after FIRSTs own heart and who I would not mind seeing win the Woodie Flowers award one day.

Re: UFH: Mike Walker
Congratulations Mike! Since I met you, yes, way back in 2003, it's been amazing to see all the things you've accomplished and have set goals to do. You are well-deserving of this award!

Re: UFH: Mike Walker
Congrats Mike!!
I can say many things....and they mostly embarrass him....so I wont, but I will say that this is a well deserved honor. Mike is one of the most hard working mentors I know. He always has his hand in more areas than he can count. Bacon would not exist in its present form without Mike. Fun Fact about Mike: He came up with the Oink Oink Boom cheer

Re: UFH: Mike Walker
Mike is a mentor and a friend whom I admire and respect as a Jack of all trades, master of most of them, and just a really nice guy to hang around. Doesn't seem that long ago that he was that bright kid on CommBat who always seemed like a senior but kept coming back for another year of high school (kinda like George Wallace in college).
Congrats Mike. I'll miss you in Alabama, but I've still got your cell number if I get in trouble.
