I have known [First Last Name] professionally and
personally for over one year. During this

and his ability
to pass this information to trainees, system users, and supervisors in a "user
friendly" way.
[First Name]'s complete knowledge of our Sperry

an integral part our information systems squadron. Due to his extensive
