Thank you Jim.
All,
We should all feel greatful for Jim's vigalance and consistant follow up on
all of our emails and concerns. While I have only lived here a few months,
I have owned serveral lofts in my years and have many nieghbors and several
condo boards...but few individuals have been as caring, consistant and
vigalant in their follow up as Jim.
So I would like to be the first to say thank you publically for all that you
do for all of us and for continually keeping the lines of communicaiton
open.
Best Regards and continued Thanks!!!!
Jason
