We in the Radiology Department have had your crews at work constantly on one project or another since July, 2005. We have installed three CT scanners and an additional MRI system in the last year. With the completion of this last CT scanner it looks like things might slow down a bit for now. I want to take just a minute of your time to commend the crew that has done all the work - Vernon, Ed, Brian and other Blum employees whose names I do not know, and all the subcontractors. Their work ethic has been outstanding. I never heard a gripe or grumble during the whole time. They are all pleasant to work with and have the most concern for our inconvenience and satisfaction. They have always accepted our requests without hesitation and completed them promptly. Two of these major jobs have had equipment provided by Siemens. The Siemens project manager has complimented your people to me over and over again. In fact, when he finds out there has been another sale, he always wants to know if ‘those Blum people’ are doing the job. He says this crew is the best he has ever worked with. James V.
