RE: Letter of Recommendation
Columbia Longview Regional Hospital

Dear Mr. Rapp:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the outstanding effort your company and you personally provided on our project at Columbia Longview Regional Hospital. Your ability to man a project in excess of 150,000+ square feet of finished floor and paving and complete such a project in the very short time allowed us by our customer along with providing the high quality of workmanship demanded by FJW Company, Inc., played an extremely important part in bringing this project in on schedule and under budget. This effort is especially appreciated in light of the fact this project was build adjacent to an existing facility that could not be disrupted.

Thanks again for the good work, I look forward to working with you again soon.

Sincerely,

Alan Philley
FJW Project Superintendent
