At 6:30 p.m., Tug Illinois assisted the M/V American Courage

When asked why events such as these are important, president of
the Towing Company, Joe Starck stated, "It's a great opportunity
to meet our local friends and neighbors, showcase our facilities
and equipment, and talk about our mutual skills and capabilities
within the Cleveland manufacturing community. This is a city that
is thriving in so many ways - the business environment has become
so favorable for companies like ours to continue to succeed and
grow. And the people and businesses right here in Northeast Ohio
inspire us to generate new inventive solutions that we can use in
the maritime industry. It was a very nice evening, and a pleasure
to get better acquainted with the members of WIRE-Net."
