Eric, It never ceases to amaze me how really dedicated and truly talented professionals always seem to show-up when the going gets tough and they’re really needed. I have always believed you to be one of those kinds of people and your work on the AAALAC assignment is a testament to your dedication and tenuous talent. I echo the sentiments of Dave and Reddy and say thank you for a job superbly executed. It is truly a pleasure to serve on the same team as you. Well Done! Bill L. Armstrong Asst. Director, Campus Operations

I would like to give my highest commendation for Eric Charters. The problem of high lab and office temperature during certain seasons has been an ongoing issue for at least 10 years. Eric did his homework, went the extra mile to find the true problem, and fixed what has been unfixable up to now. Thank you! Doug Chapman BS, CLS (CG), Manager of Laboratory Operations

I would like to give Eric a big KUDOS for coming in and taking care of the issue in such a speedy manner! Thanks! Vickie Sillers, LVT Program Support Supervisor

Excellent response and fixed the problem immediately! Maureen Holstad, Manager, Medical Scientist Training Program

I want to let you know how much I appreciated Eric Charters’ attention to air control issues. When I first met him last week, he quietly came in and introduced himself, explained what he would be doing and went about his tasks in a competent, professional manner. His approach and professionalism are deeply appreciated. Peggy Smith, Assistant Director, Washington National Primate Research Center

Because of the loss of key personnel this year, the AAALAC duties fell solely onto Eric. I just want to acknowledge he has done a fantastic job of not only doing the readings and measurements but also in creating the reports to be sent to the Department of Animal Welfare. This is a tedious task over a large area and under a lot of pressure of scheduling access, contacting clients, all while facing an strict, inflexible deadline. And he made it happen. Eric, well done.” David King, Building Environmental Control Systems

Eric, Thanks for all the AAALAC work you did for the past year. I will say this much that your hard work will not go unnoticed by the management, leads and I. We all appreciate your hard work and the reports you send us on timely manner. Again keep up the good work. Reddy Podduturi - Manager
