Letter from Stan Griffin VP Trout Unlimited to Ted Van Midde / Van Midde Concrete

"Trout Unlimited sincerely appreciates your participation in organizing and arranging for contributions of materials and necessary tools to complete the fish passage at Roy's Dam on San Geronimo Creek. As you are probably aware the late January and February rain storms brought in good numbers of coho salmon and steelhead and they were able to pass over the dam without the stress of previous years. The TU North Bay Chapter will be working with the Marin Municipal Water District this summer to correct erosion problems and address the sediment load in San Geronimo Creek. Hopefully we can eventually double the spawners within the next three years. I again want to personally thank you for your interest from the very beginning of the two-year project. That salmon and steelhead - Thank You!."

- Sincerely Stan Griffin Regional Vice President Southwest Trout Unlimited

Letter from Gary Claeys, November 24, 1992

Dear Ted,
Have you ever received a letter from a customer asking you to remove the concrete you just poured? Well once again this is not one of those letters. I wanted to thank you and your crew (Steve) for the work rendered. This patio has been something Cathy and myself have been visualizing and dreaming about for quite some time.. Although Lefty is going to miss the mud slinging obstacle course and he is convinced you buried one of his 200 bones. I'm sure he will adjust. Other that the sealer surprise we are pleased with the job and are anxious to show it off. Now if I could only figure out the first step from the house. Thanks again for your timeliness and a job well done. I will send photographs shortly.

Sincerely,
Gary Claeys


Letter from Harry C. Haines of ASH EQUIPMENT CO. INC. June 2, 1993

Just a note to express my appreciation for the fine job that your crew performed last Tuesday, the 25th of May, in pouring my driveway. Everyone was most anxious to please and it was obvious that they all know their stuff. I wish I could remember all the names, but thanks to Ellis, Joe, Dad, L.C. and Ray - my apologies to those whose names I can't remember. (There's nothing really wrong with my memory - it just isn't very long).
Please feel free to use me as a referral if needed.

Sincerely,
Harry C. Haines

Thank you for the terrific job. The sidewalk is SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT. You did a great job. Also, thanks for filling the fence posts. That saved me a day (TOMORROW!) of work I was not looking forward to doing.

Letter from Chaja Fried of Interior Innovations, July 25, 1994

To Ted Van Midde and the Entire Crew on my job,
Enclosed is payment in full on concrete work in my front walkway, garden, and bridge. This was a job that went well beyond what you anticipated it would entail! Thank you again for hanging in there with me, working closely on all the details and making sure the job was finished when I was satisfied with it. It is certainly as custom a job as one could imagine!
Thanks so much!
I am greatly appreciative for your patience and perseverance!

Letter from Donald Schacht of All Terrain Construction, July 29, 1994

Dear Ted,
In reference to the 826 Second St. job, I just wanted you to know that I believe the driveway and sidewalk are absolutely flawless. Your entire firm did an excellent job in every aspect from the timing, to the clean up. There was not so much as a speck of excess concrete or a scrap of lumber left when you were done. I am very strict when it comes to quality and perfection and again your firm has done my firm well. My Thanks go off to you and your crew for a job done most excellent!

Sincerely,
Donald Schacht
Owner/Partner
