Will (ABB Manager Field Service) "I just spoke with our lead out at Inalfa in Georgia and he had nothing but great things to say about both Carlos and Kevin, that was one of our more difficult winter shutdown jobs so we really appreciate it and if you could pass along my compliments to both of them that would be great. I would ask that we add them to our list of guys we would like to use in the future. "
