DENNIS' TOOL MAKING SAVES MMS $

I'm tired. Today was spent doing laundry at home, then coming in to pay MMS bills before getting lots and lots of paperwork gathered and organized for next week's financial audit of MMS's books. Each year MMS voluntarily goes under an auditor's watchful eye in an effort to be open and accountable to our donors who so generously fund this ministry. I was a little apprehensive about the 2007 audit since I was in and out of the hospital 3 times as well as spending some time in recovery but everything has come together, the paperwork is ready and everything accounted for. Dennis has a creativity and also the skill necessary to often make tools that are not readily available (or perhaps not invented yet - several people have told him he should be patenting some of his work) to make things easier for the mechanics to work on the airplanes. In this photo, he is making a tool to insert bushings into an aircraft carburetor. MMS could buy a similar tool to the one Dennis is making, but it would cost over $300.00. The tool has now been made at no cost and Dennis has enjoyed taking a break from the normal daily routine to use his skills to save MMS money and better equip mechanics to "get the job done."
