(Pictured Kristine learns how to crush a car)

The office was closed Friday, September 1st for a firm outing. Charles, Christi, Leslie, Jessica, and Kristine met at the office and then headed to Saint Louis to visit a client, Olympic Salvage. They were greeted by John who took them around the yard, explaining the process from start to finish. It was an enlightening experience that gave everyone a better understanding of the business's operations.
