• Jose Ventura for repairing a wall at Building JJ: “Repair guy did a great job”
• Touraj Jabbari for repairing a wall and performing a paint job at Shenkman Hall: ” To the Fixit person who fixed our walls, You are a literal angel. Not only did you fix the spots that I had noticed, but you also pulled all the furniture away from the walls and fixed all the spots you thought needed fixing. Furthermore, I had forgotten to take a frame down from the wall (in fear of it getting painted on), but you very carefully fixed the spot next to the frame without getting any paint on it. That frame was really important to me, so it meant a lot to see that you took care to avoid it. Anyways, you are a wonderful person and you probably saved me from having to pay a bunch of money for paint peeling that I didn’t cause, so thank you. Hugs and kisses, Shenkman 504.
