“First, I want to say I really enjoy these Webinars. They; in my opinion, have REAL value. I have been in position as the Maintenance Director at Lakewood Nursing Home in Plainfield, Illinois for a little over 2 years.
I'm a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer all spent on submarines. So, I appreciate what you are putting out there to the groups.”
