Currently he flies his Cessna for the US Coast Guard Auxiliary.
Krista and I would like to pass on to your crew that we really do enjoy our front yard. We have found people stopping by to look at it as if it were a piece of art, of course we know it is. It has made a big difference in our enjoyment of our home. We will highly recommend you to all of our friends.
Sincerely,
Jim Strafford
