This has been a wonderful experience for me working with my younger brother Jim. We both have the “Cather work ethic.” Jim is amazing. He has a talent in figuring out solutions to problems. This was the first time we spent time together in 50 years. We did it ...... in 10 days!!!!!!
Hard work and a great sense of achievement. We are a great team.
