    25 Years ago I entered this industry and went to work for Benoist. Had no idea what I was getting in to. Wouldnt trade it for anything ( except maybe a big powerball winning ticket ). I have seen a lot and learned a lot on this ride. 20 more and maybe I can retire :D

    Sounds like you've been at the same place for 25 years. That says a lot about you and the company. :beer:

    Congratulation, Jeff. First let me tell you, there is no such thing as retiring from this trade.:D. Maybe you won't have to work as often or as hard but they WILL find ya.

    #2.... When Mr. Ben comes down you should be able to rangle a weeks stay at the Premiere HVAC Convention in Myrtle Beach, all expenses paid at the end of March.

    My old man is talking about hanging it up for the 3rd time. I am really worried about this. I hope it don't kill him.
