Good morning,
I was asked by FRC Team 3606, BearMetal, from Catholic High in Baton Rouge to let all of our community know that one of their lead mentors, Greg Sollie, passed away last night shortly after a build meeting with his team.
Please keep his family, team, and school in your thoughts.
Best -
Daniel L. Eiland
I would like to extend my condolences on behalf of team 997.
