Kornhaas Construction, Inc.
Attention: Kim Kornhaas
Dear Mr. Kornhaas
Last year on May 7, 1995, the Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Manufacturing Plant in Ardmore,
Oklahoma was severely damaged by a tornado; therefore resulting in a crisis that challenged everyone involved in rebuilding this plant, especially with our ambitious goal
to resume full production within 12 weeks.
On June 5, 1995, the first tire was made and the plant returned to full production ahead
of the 12 week target. This was nothing short of remarkable.
Our success was largely due to the loyal, hard working people who responded with speed
to get the job done. Many worked seven days a week, for several weeks, giving up time with their families. Contractors and suppliers joined in a cooperative spirit, sometimes
putting aside their own needs, to help one another.
Your company put forth special and extraordinary efforts. We, therefore, extend our
deepest gratitude to everyone on your team.
As a token of our appreciation, please accept these framed photographs of our plant
before and after the reconstruction.
I hope you will keep these as a reminder, not only of our gratitude, but of what can be
accomplished with the commitment of dedicated people, such as those in your organization.
Sincerely, Anthony R. Sesny
