Thursday

What a great day working out of Pt. Pleasant, NJ today on this the 3rd anniversary of Hurricane Sandy.  The local and state government officials were on hand everywhere.  The Union Beach crew were greeted by television reporters when they arrived at their site this morning.  The Lt. Governor Kim Guadango visted their site at 11 AM.  All morning state and local officials and police were in an out of our work site until her arrival.  Here she is meeting with our crew (Jim Potter and Mike Dunnivan in the blue PDA shrits) on the third floor of Sandy victims home Wendy.   Jim was interviewed by the local news station.  The mayor was on hand as well.  His home was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.


David Larimer and his crew continued to work on their home today putting new siding up.
