Walk Like Woodie: From the early beginnings of FIRST® until his very last days, Dr. Woodie Flowers, a FIRST® Executive Advisory Board Chair Emeritus and Distinguished Advisor, was an incredible supporter of our mission, a friend to everyone he met, and an inspiration to our students, alumni, mentors, volunteers, supporters, and staff.
As the anniversary of his death approaches, we invite the entire FIRST Community to celebrate and honor his legacy by participating in Walk Like Woodie Day, founded by Camdenton LASER. While we strive to walk like Woodie every day, this day serves as a day of remembrance as together, we share our fondest memories, acts of Gracious Professionalism, Woodie’s impact, and how we plan to carry on his legacy. Join us on Monday, October 12 and share your words, thoughts, photos and videos on social media using #WalkLikeWoodie.
Thank you to FIRST Robotics Competition team 3284 Camdenton LASER for starting Walk Like Woodie Day in 2019 and giving us a day to remember together.
