Bart, are you on? Good morning, Bart’s Electric. What a great meeting this morning! 500, that is impressive. There’s many things that have been going through my mind as each one of you talked, and some of the biggest things—Derek brought up a good point. You know we spend $500,000 or $10,000 every meeting.

That’s $5.2 million over 10 years. There’s not a price you can put for what we’re spending on the safety and the protection and what the outcome is for this meeting. But no matter what we take on, you guys cash the check, you get the work done. We’ve never failed; we’ve never missed an opportunity to win. We’ve won on every single job for 30 years.

No matter how far I stretch my head out there, and no matter how far we stretch in our goals, you guys always pass the check, you always accomplish whatever it is, whatever the gap is. When I went from three million, I remember my first goal was a hundred thousand. We went to that, to make it to five million, to twenty million, to 30 million, 540. Man, it was a stretch every time. We went from 10 people to 200 people; people said it was impossible. But every single time, the gap from where we’re at to where we want to go, you guys have always filled in that gap.

I’m proud to be a part of a company with people with integrity and the drive to do whatever it takes, whatever’s possible, and that’s what makes greatness. I appreciate all of you.
