Acknowledgements

We cannot begin to thank all the people who have made Copper Leaf Crossing possible, but we would like to acknowledge the contributions of at least a few people.

Ralph Shermack of Shermack Construction is an outstanding general contractor and distributor for Lester Buildings. Ralph can be reached at (586) 839-2059.

Suzanne Lindsay was the engineer on this project and was great to work with. She can be reached at Atwell-Hicks Development Consultants (734) 994-4000.

Dan at Dan’s Electric and his crew were great to work with. Jeff, the primary electrician on this project, was especially good. You can reach them at (734) 930-1630.

Jennifer Kangus of Franklin Bank worked very hard to get us the funding we needed to build this campus. If your project needs financing, call her at (248) 286-9869.

Jody Miller, our accountant, put in some very late nights to help us meet various deadlines on this project. She’s hilarious to work with, and can be reached at (734) 276-5156.

We certainly had our issues with various government entities, but there were a few strong supporters at the township level. Margaret O’Conner, Jack Steeb and Craig Swenson on the planning commission were very helpful. At the board of trustee level, we had support from Elaine Masters, Michelle Foley, Bill Lindemann and Don Rentschler.

We want to again thank Margaret O’Conner and the O’Conner family for making us a good deal on the antique farm implements that decorate the grounds and the interiors of our buildings.

If you need some boulders, hydroseeding or tree work done, give Mark McCullough a call at Boulders and Rocks Landscaping (734) 216-1784. He provided most of the mulch for the dog park.

Very important people to thank are the staff members of the various businesses. They gracefully handled all the stress associated with this massive move and expansion.

Last but not least, I want to thank my wife, Vicki, for putting up with me through frustrations of the big project.
