Kevin Hardwick
Kevin has saved the second shift electric shop more than once over the last year, just 2 weeks ago I was locating for the project at the REC. When I completed the locate I returned to a dead van. So once again I called Kevin to ask for his assistance of course his shift had ended and he was at home. Like ALWAYS Kevin came in to get me going. EIU should be very proud to have a AWESOME MECHANIC working on our outdated vehicles. Debora Timmons
