Congratulations to David McDonnell Forney on achieving 20 years of exemplary work service with Brown & Carlson!  David takes his Mail Clerk position very seriously and the firm appreciates that level of professionalism.  Over the years, David expanded in his role to include paper management, which gave him the opportunity to move around the office more and allowed our staff more opportunities to get to know him better.   We appreciate David for his positive attitude toward work and for inspiring others to do their best.  We are sincerely grateful to Kaposia for introducing us to David and providing us the opportunity to have him join our team back on March 16, 2003.  We look forward to celebrating many more milestones with David.
