we were on the move% We’readding bodies to help carry theworkload% We’re addingprojects to meet the needs ofour customers and entice morestudents to make UA theirchoice%
Speaking of moving� youshould see my home% Jeff and Iwith the help of our closefriend� Ajay Nautiyal� pulled upour carpet just last Saturday%Movers came on Thursday andby Friday morning all that wasleft was what could fit in thetrunk of our car%
