Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all!

Wow, a new year beginning already.  '07 went by in a flash and was successful in so many ways both on a personal and professional level.  It's hard to believe that we are now in our 7th year of business here at PGS.  I would like to thank all of our Clients, Associates, Vendors, and friends for helping to make '07 another year of growth with many successful projects completed and new relationships developed.

Highlights from the  year;

Personal:

• Joshua Tree in Feb.  Desert climbing at it's best.  A good place to spend time with a great friend.
• Vancouver Marathon in May.  Lots of suffering.  3:42.
• Swiftsure Race in May.  Fast sailboats, big ocean swells, and good friends.
• Moto GP at Laguna Seca in July.  Faster motorcycles with fearless riders.  A week of motorcycles with my son.
• Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route in Sept.  Dirt, rocks, large bike, lots of broken pieces.  A week spent with some of the best people on earth.
• Portland Marathon in Oct.  Shared with a brother, best of times.  3:38
• Maui in Nov.  Celebrating 29 years with my very best friend.  Love you Sue!

Professional:

• Unbelievable depth and growth within our team.
• I'm beginning to place more and more trust in my team and giving them more control of operations.
• Won an on-call professional services contract with a major Federal agency.
• Developed many new relationships with some wonderful firms.  Big thanks for all the work.
• Continued to build relationships with Associate firms allowing for sharing of resources.
• Wow, some really cool projects located in some really neat locations.
• A new piece of equipment putting us at the very top of the technology curve.
• The BEST employees in the world!!!  Thanks guys!

We are all looking forward to another year of success and continued growth.  I really do appreciate all of you that have played a part in my life and wish nothing but the best for all of you in '08.

Cheers!
