 Dear Tom:

 It has been nearly ten years since we bought our Union Pier house and in those years we've all enjoyed the pleasure and comfort of our leisure time there.
Our kids, grandkids and friends, too, express their enjoyment and we love the 'kick your shoes off, relax, and feel at home' sense of the place. Indeed, we feel blessed.

Now, Tom, why are we writing this letter to you and what do you have to do with our house?

Listen, Tom Gloe, you have everything to do with our house because YOU have been the" invisible house-master" there for the past ten years. While we get all the praise, it is YOU whose skill, integrity and high standards have brought into reality the pleasant changes required for our growing family's comfort. To list just some of our projects completed:

• Main house: Remodeled 2 front bedroom waIls, foyer and closets

• Main house: Changes to kitchen wall, installation and adjustments involving appliances and major plumbing relocation

• Main house: Roof (deck) reconstruction to correct old design flaws resulting in water damage to master bedroom and family room ceiling

• Cottage on property: Gutted existing structure. Total new design and construction of airy two-bedroom house. HVAC, hardwood floors, skylights, etc.

By writing this letter to you, we hope to express our respect and thanks for always "being there" whenever we called on you for help. We thank you for bringing your professional skill to every effort you make on our behalf. Your word is all we need despite our often "long distance" relationship from our primary home in north suburban Chicago.

Tom, between the lines of this letter, we hope you recognize that it is a pleasure to know and work with you. And every time we see signs on properties in the area that read, "Thomas Gloe Builders" we smile, and wish you and your fortunate clients well.
