My daughter MaryEllen, a partner of the company, is a senior this year finishing her degree in Geology. She is a national honor student, and a gifted person. One thing I have always been so proud of is her courage . Just a small town girl, but never afraid to travel the world, seek new adventures, Willing to learn and confidence to turn a wrench, and that evening dine with a queen. She works tirelessly at her studies, embraces new challenges, and explores the world with a loving faith and heart.

While a student at Juniata College she has received scholarships to study at University of Otago in New Zealand, and this year she is completing her fall semester in Ireland at College of Cork. Both universities are top 1% in the world in her field of study and admission to them is an exclusive selection process. In addition to the semesters abroad she also recently traveled to Scotland for 10 days with the college to work on a book regarding the geologic history of Scotland, in which was a multi-page contributor.

She loves to blog on her trips, so I have attached a link to her blogspot should anyone wish to check it out, She is a talented writer, and It is a gift to share her work with the world. I couldn't be more proud. If you have a few minutes to read a story and see the world thru another's eyes I have attached a link. I am excited for her to get back home and work together and build this family company for her to have to carry on and do our part to give back to the world. I'm sure should she choose to carry on the company it will be in fine hands. ENJOY!!
