During all this, the staff also moved into the new Gunsite Executive Offices.  The AC in the old office was failing and the last two weeks in there, the temperature was in excess of 90 degrees.  But, just as the students in the heat, the staff stood strong! When you drive through the gate, you will see the old Gatehouse is gone (It was re-purposed by the demolition company) and the … [Read more...]
