Happy Constitution Day! Congress created Constitution Day in 2004 and chose September 17 as the day to celebrate it based on that being the last day of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787. Take the quiz at the Washington Post site here if you want to learn more. Hint: Apparently Benjamin Franklin is never the correct answer… <sigh>
Take a moment today to remember the 39 brave men who signed that document in 1787. Their courage and commitment should be celebrated.
Who you’re seen with and who you associate with say a lot about you. Both the gentlemen in the article I copied below have been associated with Easterday Construction Co., Inc. Bobby Cooper, is actually Robert Cooper the third and when he worked with us, he was known as B3 since is father, Robert Cooper the second, has been with us somewhere around forever. Bobby was a “good kid” and we had talked to him about considering apprenticeship classes when the job opportunity came up at Clay. He had attended classes to be a fireman and had served as a volunteer. We were disappointed to see him leave, but still proud to have been associated with him. Fortunately I have not had to see him in action as a firefighter, but I have seen him first hand as an EMT helping with my grandparents and have been pleased with his compassion and professionalism.
Art Jacobs was partially responsible for our signing up for Insurance Services with Gibson Insurance. Art always dealt with us honestly and with a desire to know our business. I always felt like I was being informed rather than pressured for a sale. Again, I’ve been fortunate enough NOT to have seen Art in action as a fire fighter, but I have seen him discuss safety issues on many occasions and I have no doubt that he is composed, professional and knowledgeable in his position as Captain of the Plymouth Fire Department.
Reading the article below, I was not surprised that these two individuals would stop and help someone in distress. They take their compassion for the communities they serve personally. I am proud to know them and say that Easterday Construction Co., Inc. has been associated with them.

Thank you to all who have served.
Well, Becky has headed off for RAGBRAI again this year. She and Toni left at noon today to make their way to the east side of Iowa. With all the things revolving around the start of Berger Audiology, she hasn’t gotten nearly as much training in as usual, so we’re hoping she makes it. She’s pretty stubborn, so she’ll probably have to be pulled off the bike before she gives up.
I generally do email updates. If you want to be on the email list, let me know.
Well, Becky has decided on a logo for Berger Audiology LLC. The first mock up is to the right. (I know it’s kind of small, but hopefully you can click on it and blow it up larger.) She’s in the process of getting signage for the new location. Lots to learn and lots of details involved with setting up a new business. That along with training for her regular RAGBRAI excursion. Let me know what you think about the logo. We’re pretty pleased about it as a starting point.
