I just got word, Paul Kloberg won The Woodie Flowers Finalist Award in UTC tonight, Congratulations to Paul on this long overdue honor
Congratulations, Paul! You are the most jolly and exuberant man in FIRST.
CONGRATULATIONS PAUL!!!
He’s helped 1923 and all of NJ in SO many ways, and he definitely deserves this.
Congrats Paul! I remember meeting you at when 303 and 365 were partners in the finalist alliance (actually lost on a tiebreaker) at Rutgers 2001 (my first regional). Since then I feel like you have been at every competition, because you would almost always drop by and say hi even if your team wasn’t there. The WFA is well deserved since you are one of the friendliest and most helpful people in FIRST.
Congratulations to Paul Kloberg! Like it has been said, this is long overdue. He started on 303, and my first year in 2000, it was obvious that I wouldn’t ever meet anyone more excited about FIRST.
Congrats to Pauly Robots, well deserved.
The first time I met Paul I was enveloped in a huge bear hug (bear hugs must be a Joisey specialty!) and knew immediately why people always spoke so highly of him. I’m happy I could be there to see him receive this special honor!
Congratulations to Paul Kloberg!!! He is truely a great inspiration to everyone that is able to talk to him.
Way to go Paul!!! Very well deserved 
Congratulations Paul Kloberg!
Congratulations Paul! This is great, and a very well-deserved honor!

Great job Mr. Kloberg! The number of teams you have influenced in New Jersey alone is remarkable, congrats on winning an award named after Woodie himself.
Any word on which team wrote the submission?
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!”
Congratulations Paul!! Couldn’t think of a more deserving person to receive this honor! The team who nominated you should also be congratulated.
Congrats Paul.
Paul took a chance on me and gave me my first chance at doing play by play when 303 hosted their “Frenzy Finale” and he was one of the main influences of my coming back to continue to volunteer. A better candidate for this award would be hard to find.
Congratulations Paul,
It’s great that you are recognized for the impact you have made on the program and the lives of the students you have touched. This is a great recognition for a really classy guy. I hope to congratulate in person in a few weeks. Good Luck.
I met Paul at Championships last year when he gave Dr. Dave Mitchell and I a homework assignment. Paul, we’ll get this thing figured out yet…
Nice job.
Paul.
All your hard work has been recognized. On behalf of MOE 365, a very heartfelt congratulations!!!
Congratulations Paul! I’m so glad that you’ve finally been given your well-earned recognition.
I know that in NJ, a few teams had submitted him for WFFA, but it was Team 25’s submission that earned Paul the award in UTC.
Awesome, congratulations Paul!
You do so much for FIRST in NJ and NYC.
(And thanks to NJ Team 25 for the WFFA submission)
Congratulations Paul!
Thanks for all your hard work. We really appreciate what you do for us!
