"..Dave and his team did an amazing job  redesigning the platform around the flagpole and turned it into a show piece on the CBA Campus.  It was a pleasure working with Dave, a CBA Alumnus, because he put his heart and soul into the job and created something way beyond our expectations.  It will be a source of pride on our campus for years to come."
