Also joining Dan were the two other members of the Management Team, Willie O’Hanlon and Jake McQueen. All three had very positive things to say about the team as a whole and pointed out some individuals for special mention. ”So many of you guys here have exceptional talent” said Dan Wyatt ”and you certainly make our job so much easier.
