Flooring Ain't Boring

I noticed from a Facebook post that Rob McGill was part of a team featured at a flooring expo - so I asked Rob for more details.  Here's the original pic...















The story:
The 7th Annual RD Weis Flooring expo was held in NYC "to showcase new and innovative products from our vendor partners in commercial carpeting & flooring and is geared towards our clients in the architect & design community as well as corporate, healthcare, educational and retail end users."

I know we have a few classmates in architecture and design and commercial real estate...take note!


Here's Rob's bio on the company about us page.

Colorado #5


Colorado classmate number five was two years at Deerfield and originally from Hinsdale, Illinois.  He earned the respect of Mr. Bois on a trip to Russia as a new junior and later proctored in JW with  Al Kerr, Kurt Miller and Andrew Niles (Anybody know of Andrew's whereabouts?)

He interned in DC during senior spring, so admits that he is less attached to DA than his four years at Middlebury, and his singing brethren in the Dissipated Eight...

Two teenagers and a 9 year old keep him busy when he's not focused on being CFO of a family owned moving company thats been in Denver since 1900 and has 11 locations in the US.

Our man Don Hindman gave me a tour of the impressive Centennial facility, which not only handles residential local and interstate moves but also works with companies to store and stage furniture and fixtures during remodeling or new construction.  As a new hotel gets built nearby, the GC is able to warehouse carpets, bathroom fixtures etc. then request next day delivery through an online UI!



















Not surprisingly, Don is, like his statemates, a raging Broncos fan and wore his Broncos tie for the occassion.

Saying goodbye to sleep....with a smile

The "final" pic from San Antonio shows our contented classmate saying goodbye to sleep for a while.

In the flurry of FB activity after Grace was born to Brian and Hannah, it was learned that classmate Whit Armstrong has his first child due on December 20! Look forward to another welcoming announcement and the official launch of "old man" jokes...
