Note from George E. Coaston Jr. Friday 5/16/08

I would like to say that I had fun working with our PG&E team. We were all willing to learn something new and jump in wherever and whenever we were needed. We worked with so many wonderful people to complete the work is such a short amount of time. There were about 2000 volunteers on the building sites. Ten new houses were constructed in Biloxi, twenty new houses in Pascagoula and thirty houses were rehabbed in Gulfport. In addition, there was a staging area on the beaches of Biloxi that served as a framing site for other homes throughout the Gulf Coast Region.
I will like to thank PG&E for allowing us to work on this project. I would like to encourage PG&E to continue to support events and others like it. I would like to be selfish right now and volunteer for our next event.

Amber: - Excellent job on getting onto the roof and overcoming your fear of heights. All of your siding work was right on. The drive to continue to complete the work was motivational.

Brandi: - Your ability to work under pressure was extremely appreciated. The dash to complete insulation installment was remarkable. The weather was extremely hot and you kept on going. Also, that final paint job to the inside of the house gave the home a feeling of completion even though construction will not be completed for another week.

Tim: I think that I would call you, “The Go Too Man”. No matter what the tailboard was in the morning, you were one of the first persons with their hand up to work on one of the harder projects. No matter how hot it got on the roof, you stayed to complete the work at hand. You were able to adapt to many different jobs and you nailed in the last piece of siding on the side of the house (Smile).
Thank you all for being a part of one of the most worthwhile experiences of my life. Thank you PG&E for making it all possible. I would also like to thank our families, friends and co-workers for all of your support.
