About one minute after hitting send on the email announcement yesterday, phones started ringing off the hooks across our offices.  The outpouring of support was outstanding, and plans to actually get stuff done were quickly pushed off by the need to talk to clients and friends from across the industry.

Keith Menne in our Lansing office had a long-time friend call from a job site in Dallas.  “Why didn’t you do this sooner!” was all he could say.

I just got off the phone with Colin Murphy, General Manager of our new Scenic Division, who was swamped twice as separate email blasts went out.  His only regret?  Not being able to talk to the people who were calling in, as he was on the phone.  Looking forward to seeing “SGASi” in a new sign he’s designing & building for InfoComm next week in Orlando.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for the support, we look forward to getting to business immediately, but sometimes it’s nice to pause and know you were part of something bigger.

For all the employees who answer our incoming calls, (Angi, Amanda, and today Kathleen!) a five-star rating is deserved for your support and enthusiasm.  Hearing (and trying to remember to say) “SGASi” after 13 years here is excitingly different.

I’ve been promised photos soon, will post to the site when I receive them.
