Spreading the Word

Perhaps it was said best by Mike Hahn, owner of GSETC, in an e-mail to me: “Many of us in the GSE world know how small of a group we really are and how we are all refurbished and recycled. That being the case, when we hear about one of our own struck by tragedy, it is very important to be able to spread the word and gain assistance where possible to help those in the community.” I couldn’t agree more. Below is a note that Mike requested I pass along: Most of us who have been in the business a long time know Bob Ahearn from Tug as the go-to-guy when they needed help to find a part at Tug. Several years ago, he moved to the service side of Tug and now handles the shops. With the economy being bad, he moved out of his home and rented a house. Two weeks after moving, the rental home burned to the ground before they could get the renter’s insurance in place. It is a total loss, barely getting out with their lives, but nothing else. Sadly they lost two pets in the fire as well. To help them we have set up a fund to raise money and get them back on their feet. Make checks out to Ahearn Recovery account.
