| Dear Ann Marie and Jim, |
I want to take the opportunity to express my sincere thanks for the professional guidance and help you have given to Allegheny Plywood over the last year. Your ideas and consulting have helped my brother and I better understand each other. |
The business demands today put an ever-increasing level of stress in everyone’s lives. This stress can be multiplied when working with family members. It is reassuring to know that with guidance and understanding our business can grow and prosper. Our personal relationships with family members can also grow and mature in a positive direction. |
As with any business, constant work and focus is needed to continue to develop our personal relationship. Don and I are both committed to make our personal and business relationships stronger and less stressful. |
| Again, thanks for your guidance. |

| Dear Ann Marie, |
| I want to let you know how very much I appreciate the time you have spent working with me, coaching and mentoring me through the issues that arise out of working with my husband in a family business. You always listen with a discerning ear and with compassion, and are able to provide me with “have you thought of…” ideas for handling those tough situations. You have also been able to help me determine the role that I want to play in the company and have encouraged me to delegate tasks in order to make that a reality. It’s a process…but, with your help, I’m getting there. |
| On the company side, we appreciate all the contacts that you make and the initial interviewing and testing that you do for us in the hiring process. You are always able to provide us with great insight into the character of potential employees, which you have been able to discern from you initial communications with them. You have a true gift, and your opinions have been invaluable to us! |
| When Mike and I requested to meet with you and Jim just 18 months ago, little did we know that God had a plan for us and for our business that He would reveal through our relationship with you. And He is not done with us yet! |
| Thank you for being in the business of helping family businesses like ours! |
Sincerely, |
Jill N. Marburger

| Dear Jim, |
| I wanted to take a moment to say “thank you”. I truly consider it a blessing to have met you and your lovely wife, Ann Marie, several years back. Were it not for the compassion, understanding and professional guidance afforded to Marchi and I our family business would not be around today. |
Your ability to guide both our families through the emotional and very personal challenges of transitional change had been immeasurable. At a time when I personally felt all was lost, you were able to show me the light at the end of the tunnel.
|
| As I reflect back over the past several years, it has become quite apparent that our meeting of happenstance several years back was truly a blessing. |
With great appreciation and emotion, thank you. |

Dear Jim, |
| You are gold! Your visit with us was successful and filled with timely results, emotionally as well as financially. We were impressed with your professionalism and preparation…that in turn made our progress and quick results look easy (and we know better than that). We have many years of experience dealing with consultants but your firm stands above the rest in personal service, follow-through and results. |
| Thank you for joining our enthused team! We are looking forward to future mutually beneficial consultations. |
| Best personal regards, |
Joe, Jim and Larry

Dear Jim, |
I wanted to write to let you know how very much Jill and I appreciate the positive changes that have taken place in our company over the past 18 months since we have been working with you. We began working with you and Ann Marie at a time when we were questioning whether we wanted to continue in a business that we had begun 15 years earlier but had become so burdensome that is was no longer enjoyable or challenging.
|
Jim, you have a way of intuitively getting to the root of our problems and then offering effective solutions to correct them. You have been an invaluable mentor, teaching us ways to manage people more effectively and to improve our communications. Your expert guidance has helped us make personal decisions as well as shown us the way to take our company to the next level in efficiency and professionalism.
|
| You have also encouraged me to bring my relationship with the Lord into the workplace: pray before meetings, before making decisions, and with fellow employees during times of stress and joy. I thank you very much for helping me find the courage to do that. |
| We look forward to continuing to work with you, utilizing your vast business knowledge and experience to increase our company’s profitability in order to grow our company into and industry leader. |
Sincerely, |
| Mike Marburger |
