Message from John Morgan:
John was an IGO, ASC, ASA member for over 34 years.  John was named the Outstanding Member of the Year in 1984.  John spoke with Todd Black a few days ago and with a beaming smile he showed me the plaque.

I am proud that Todd was chosen for this terrific award for I certainly feel he is another dedicated and outstanding person.  Of course I am retired now but my name still appears on my old shop with only a slight change.  Todd and Janel Black bought my business as a second location for which I am very grateful.  One of my deepest concerns was "how will my customers be teated and cared for when I retire?"  Needless to say the Black's are doing a great job.  I continually run into old customers and get nother but great reports.
