EXCELLENT FIRE INSPECTION
REPORT
Only a few minor violations for the
whole building after our annual fire
inspection on August 16! Our
inspector, Captain Mike Simmons of
The Greensboro Fire Department,
says we make his job easy.
LITTLE THINGS MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE
The new scent wafting through our
lobby was created for us by Phil
Comstock of Massage Philosophy in
suite 416. Phil is a certified, clinical
aromatherapist as well as a licensed
massage therapist.
Notice the stacked pots and new
green plants on floor 5 near Blondi.
This botanical arrangement features
the Anthropologie look. And we always
appreciate more plants filtering our air.
A curvy, vertical lamp makes a
striking statement in Jennifer
Bressler's office at 424. Nice touch,
Jennifer!

of the second floor compliments of
Bob Poston, suite 207.
SECOND FLOOR FACELIFT
UNDERWAY
Lofty hallway ceilings, new light
fixtures, spruced up restrooms, and a
three-zone heating and cooling system
are on the renovation list for the second
floor. The work crew is moving onto
that floor now and will start to take
down the old ceilings and duct work in
the hallways as quietly as possible.
The women's restroom will be
revitalized quickly, so Sublime Skin
Care clients can use it soon.
ON THE MEND
This has been the summer of
orthopedic injuries and surgeries for
women of The Guilford Building.
Barbara Blowe of Business Data
Services on the third floor started to
notice pain in her right shoulder when
she played tennis in recent months.
One doctor visit led to another, and she
ended up with a shoulder replacement
in late July. The surgery and recovery
were an ordeal, but Barbara is feeling
better now and is back at work parttime. “I'd love to play tennis again,”
says Barbara, “but I think my serve will
be restricted.”
Jennifer Bressler and Emily Tyre,
both clinical therapists at MHA on the
fourth floor, each suffered a broken leg
this summer.
Jennifer was riding her bike along
the new Greenway with her husband
and son on July 29. She lost her
concentration for a moment and fell off
the side of the path. Her happy day
turned into a calamity. She broke her
fibula – a painful, jagged fracture that
required surgery and insertion of a
plate and screws to stabilize her leg
bone. The good news is that Jennifer
is healing well and expects a full
recovery in about six months. For now
she rides a scooter around the
building and wears an orthopedic
boot.
To her surprise Emily found out in
July that she was walking around on a
stress fracture or clean break in one of
her legs caused by over use. She's
been using crutches and a wheelchair
to keep her weight off her leg. Now
Emily is back on her feet, watching her
step, and considering sports therapy.
THE GUILFORD BUILDING WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2012
IN OBSERVANCE OF LABOR DAY.
