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.

This is the mailer that went out mid-month in August. I’ve cropped it because it had a promotional tracking phone number. Going forward Becky wants to get the regular number out:
Jeff Kenney did a nice article on Becky that appeared in last week’s Culver Citizen and yesterday’s Pilot News. She has sent cards out to residents in the area to let people know where she is. Hopefully this article with help with that as well. For those of you trying to find her, she’s taking appointments at (574) 935-HEAR(4327). Grant Munroe is working on a website for her at bergeraudiology.com, but that’s not up and running yet.
Thanks to all of you that have been supportive of her in this endeavor. Hopefully you can enlarge the article above enough to read it, but it not, let me know and I’ll send you a copy.
Corner Tavern Renovation underway in 1995
I need to start watching for Jeff Kenney’s Throw Back Thursday entries. I never know when one of our past projects will show up.
Last week’s entry featured the expansion of the Corner Tavern back in 1995. Will Pearson owned the Corner Tavern then and since his wife Kathy worked here in the office, it was natural that he came to Easterday Construction Co., Inc. to do the work. This was also another collaboration with Don Scearce of Scearce & Associates, now SRKM Architecture. The expansion provided additional seating, better natural light and improved access to the basement. It also improved the kitchen and restrooms bringing them up to code. There were plans to expand into the upstairs, but there were various code issues that prevented that at the time.
Will Pearson
The upgraded facility thrived under Will’s management for several years. Will often worked the kitchen and the bar continuing a tradition of Owner/Operator interaction with the patrons. Many local residents worked there over the years and Ginny Munroe, current Culver Town Council President, often comments, “Willie was my favorite boss!”
The restaurant later sold to George Pesek and went through another renovation to become the Corndance Cafe’, its current incarnation. It remains a fixture in Culver and continues to be a source of pride and income to Culver residents.

Rebecca L. Berger, Au.D. at her desk in her new office
Becky saw her first patient today! Her schedule is starting to fill up next week. She’s excited!
She’s still struggling with some of the office management software, but she should have that under control soon. She’s gotten all her audiology equipment installed and has most of the support materials in place. Monday she has a fairly full day of patients. She’s looking forward to getting back in touch with the clients she has worked for over the past two decades.
