Coupled with the integrations and cost saving initiatives implemented during the summer months, we believe that we are well positioned as the economy continues to strengthen."
"We continue to reduce the level of debt outstanding on our credit facility and we are experiencing debt levels not seen on a consistent basis for over three years," stated Michael L.
