Factory Five Survives Hurricane Irene

FFR Crew Back at Full Speed

The storm is replaced with a beautiful New England late summer day and a lot of relief...

The crew did an outstanding job of prepping the building for the storm and it survived without damage.

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. One thing is immensely evident and that is thru hardship, Americans have a tradition of helping each other out.

While we are good here at Factory Five, five of our crew are without power at home, but all are safe. We are all safe and thankful to be in the clear.
