## My hero!
No safety glasses! Gasp!
That’s back when men were men.
(And, uh, maybe just not so bright.)
By the way: if you were at Worlds for Starstruck, you might have seen astronaut Dan Tani receive an award on stage. He’s in that 1981 video wearing a green shirt, as a student.
When I was at FIRST worlds this year, Woodie walked next to me and I felt like I had just been passed by an angle!
Which size angle?
Probably an obtuse one.
Could have been a cute one.
