Affiliations
- I take great pride in spearheading the completion of an email, addressed to the president of Children's Hospital Research, in Seattle, asking for his protection, of the building I was operating on, from active strike picketers. The building I was working on was to be used for Children's Hospital Research upon it's completion and striking Unions were hindering the completion of this building. Some children's lives depend on the completion of this research and for this reason I could not sit and watch this building's completion date get pushed any further out. I wrote an email to the president of Children's Hospital Research Facilities, in Seattle, expressing my deep concerns and this email was received and taken seriously and actions were made, within the day, to prevent any further shut down's due to picketer's at that building, to date.
Accomplishments
