Bryan McGee & Fred Linders (not pictured)

We don’t know how the retreat would function without Bryan and Fred! They help coordinate the Friday afternoon set up with Bryan working with a local oxygen vendor to set up 12-16 large oxygen tanks for torching, while Fred hooks up his specially created manifolds to split the oxygen & propane tanks for 10-12 torches. Many thanks!
