Tuesday Keynote


Tuesday's events began with a keynote presentation by John Abele. John Abele is the founding chairman of Boston Scientific. Currently the chair of the FIRST Foundation, he is heavily involved in its' mission of getting kids interested in science. Mr. Abele was also key in the Search for the USS Grunion project. The Grunion was a Gato class submarine lost with all hands (including John's father, Lt. Cmdr Mannert Abele) during WWII. All of these different life experience were used to extract lessons we can all apply in our lives. It was great to hear him speak. I recommend it if you are ever lucky enough to get the chance.
