Sam, Casey and Corey congratulations on the new addition to Ellison Construction. I know that it’s hard work with a lot of sleepless nights to build and run a business on a hourly, daily, weekly and yearly basis. I am very proud of you all and I am sure there are a lot of others who are as well, some with us and some not. Keep up the hard work and never substitute quality for quantity.
