I want to say that everyone on FRC-900 that I interacted with was the model of gracious & professional. You guys had every right to get a bit frustrated with all of the pressure of pulling this off in the amount of time that you had and having a swarm of inspectors buzzing over your head. Congratulations to you for an amazing effort and especially for not becoming unglued under the pressure.

I hope I have the honor of working your division in the future.

Ed, believe me when I say that the honor was ours. Thank you for being an amazing person and working with us. It was an absolute pleasure.
