Happy Spring!
We love when our clients come to visit!  ENTEK's Tammy Straw stopped by on a recent trip to the Boston area  and we made time for a quick walk to the beach with Vince!


After a long winter we're happy to finally have some warm weather arriving (slowly) here in Maine!  As most of you know we are big Boston sports fans and we are living the dream with the Celtics and Bruins advancing in the playoffs, and the Red Sox back in action as well.  We hope you are enjoying this great time of year too.
Thanks for reading, and we'll be back in touch soon!
