My name is Virg Brinkmeier. I have been in manufacturing management for 30 years.
During those years I have had the pleasure of having Joe as an employee. He has worked
under my direction on several occasions totaling about 10 years. He has always been
dependable and knowledgeable about the tasks he was assigned. We have become friends
over the years because of our work relationship. I would recommend Joe to anyone as a
good and reliable employee. If you wish to speak to me in person, Joe will have my
number.

To Whom It May Concern:
Please let this letter serve as our letter of recommendation
for Mr. Joe Tierney. It came to our attention that
there is a possibility that Mr. Tierney may become part of your team.
We have known Mr. Tierney for over 10 years and during that time period we have
learned about the character of Joe, as well as his excellent ability on secondary operation
machines.
Joe's proficient in all areas of secondary machine including but not limited to tool design,
set up, production, and maintenance.
Furthermore Joe embodies a good common sense about secondary operation cutting that
we do on our Towa machines.
