Once a Rhode Warrior...

I would like to thank my team, 121 (The Rhode Warriors), for being the fantastic people they are! You guys welcomed our school into your team with open arms, and we are soooo grateful for it! FIRST has been one of those life-changing experiences for me, and I wouldn’t give it up for anything! We’ve had our disagreements along the way (cough NJ’s threaded hook thingy. Que the hey?! cough), but it’s been an awesome experience.

I would like to thank Pat (Heretic121) for being such cool guy. Thanks for all your help with The Hook and presenting me with the Purple Heart trophy. That small plaque will be a constant reminder to me of your awesomeness. Thank you for your generosity! You truly exemplify what FIRST is all about.

Someone else who deserves thanks is Dave (D@ve). You have taught me so much about design, efficiency, construction, bowling, and the fine art of riding a Segway. You rock, Dave! You deserve your Woodie Flowers award more than anyone I can think of. (But you still owe me $10 from McDs at Nats)

I’m off to college soon, and I’m hoping to organize the first FIRST team in Utah. But no matter where I go, and whether I join team #923576 or #1, I’ll always be a Rhode Warrior!

Yours,

MrToast
