Commendations
Here is the time sheet for when Byron came in at Olive Harvey. I also want to say that
he helped a lot more than I could have anticipated. It was a crazy opening Day and he came
in and owned it. He is a complete pleasure to work with. If there is ever a need for a temp at
Olive Harvey again, I will request for him every time.
