After nearly 46 years of service with Hub Construction Specialties, Inc., Al Hannah has retired, as of December 30, 2010. Al started his career with Hub in February 1965, as a temporary driver. With service as a salesman and sales manager, Al will leave us as our longtime Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
Over the years, Al has become an accomplished water color artist and has been commissioned to create renderings of the California Missions. This will allow Al to do three of the things he enjoys most; paint, travel (with Getta and Bugsy), and play golf.
Everyone at Hub would like to thank Al, for the time and effort he has put into the company as well as what his commitment to success has meant for all of us.
We wish Al and Getta all the best in everything the future brings.

Contractor Comedy
Heavenly Audit
A construction worker dies on in a fishing accident on his 40th birthday and finds himself greeted at the Pearly Gates by a brass band. Saint Peter runs over, shakes his hand and says "Congratulations!"
"Congratulations for what?" asks the construction worker.
"Congratulations for what?" says Saint Peter. "We are celebrating the fact that you lived to be 160 years old."
"But that's not true," says the construction worker. "I only lived to be forty."
"That's impossible," says Saint Peter, "we added up your time sheets."
