Drexel Steam Project
Richard L. Hoffman, Project Manager/Owner's Representative
Dear Mike:
It is my privilege to send this letter in recognition of the outstanding job your team of steam
fitters, Fred Alderman, Vinny Esposito, Charlie McCarry, Kevin Quinn, and steam fitter welders,
Steve Bowen, John Cordero, and Mark Freelan with steam fitter Foreman, Jim Cassidy,
accomplished on Tuesday, September 30, 2008. The Drexel Steam Project required a 19 hr/day
of not only fine craftsmanship skills but 100+% effort from the team from the start of the day
through the last minute. These craftsmen were busy doing what needed to be done almost
every minute helping each other constantly in order to complete the job and return the steam
service required. The startup was very successful with no leaks.
D. J. Ververelli, Inc. and Drexel University sincerely appreciate the excellent effort, skills, and
concern exhibited by the JJ White Team required to complete this final stage in a minimum
amount of time within the time constraints that existed.
Our sincere thanks,
DIMITRI J. VERVERELLI, INC.
Richard L. Hoffman
Project Manager/Owner’s Representative
