Message from Grant Grassmid

I have taken a job in Cincinnati, OH. This job is back into what I went to school for and have a degree in. It was nice to be with you guys in the club, I received lots of help and I am very grateful. I am especially grateful for the help and time I received from Mike Manderino and John Baldo with my car. I can never replace anyone like you guys. I would like to keep receiving the club emails to hopefully try and plan some trips back to Chicago around some of them. I hope things keep going well for everyone and I will see you later.
