Mr. Edward Overmyer:
YOU ARE A LUCKY MAN!!!!.......Ok, you have a great company with great tools and process, but none of this means anything without a great staff and you have that too.
I have been an engineer for 35 years with over 30 years in the nuclear business. Being an Engineering and Construction manager, I can say without hesitation that the Retubeco’s team was the best I have ever been involved with. This is on every level. Your team beat the schedule and spent less money, almost unheard of in the nuclear business.
The team’s ability to work affectively, safely, solve problems, stay on schedule, provide top notch technical support, provide industry operational experience and listen to the customer’s needs was the best I have ever been involved with. The comments received by others were just as complimentary.
Special thanks to Mark Tagliamonte for strong Project Leadership and Management, excellent technical support, and setting high standards, Tim Eiseman for providing the same Management/Leadership on nights and the almost never tiring work ethic of both Don Dye and Floyd West.
Let me end with AMAZING and Give these guys a bonus, they deserve it.

Barney,
I just wanted you to know that everything is working great with the SJAE inter and after condenser. I have taken a lot of ridicule until recently and we finally proved it was in great condition. When we are at full load the vacuum and hotwell temp is optimal. It is like it was in 1949. When we decrease steam flow and megawatts things start to change for the worse drastically. I kept telling them it was the Turbine and all of our engineers said that it had to be the inter and after. I finally gave up and let them check. I did not though I usually do because we are 2 short in my dept. I was willing to own up to my mistake, and you know all the drama we have already had with this project. Well it turns out that it was the LP turbine and that if the inter and after was not in great shape then the unit would trip off. Job well done guys.
