 Thanks and Appreciation

I'd like to convey my sincerest gratitude to all my friends at MATC for their overwhelming support in the wake of my father's passing on October 8th. Special thanks go to the people of Strategic Effectiveness, MATC PSRP Local 3872, and the temps in Registration. Their kindness has been invaluable during these trying times.
Dan McCormick & family
