Summary

I will not allow AI to summarize my work experience, the prior pages say what I have to say.

I enjoy people, and love Sandy Neck. I wouldn't mind doing the sanitary on the portable toilets even though I'm sure some treat them with disrespect. (Some folks! Lol!)

Thank You, Don (Jerry) Ballou


P.S. I have a house down the road, travel is not an issue.
