Once again, the missus did volunteer yours truly as master of ceremonies..., when triumvirate (Kathleen Bergen, Pamela Floreen, and Richard Jett) constitute Grosse and Quade real estate management cutting crew for Highland Manor Apartments in Schwenksville conduct requisite yearly property inspection (the law mandates low income rental properties constituent units undergo careful examination courtesy Housing and Urban Development) on May 28th, 2024.
