SMBH Turns 50!

We are proud to celebrate our 50th anniversary! We celebrate two specific dates: May 1st, Bill Lantz and Tom Jones' start dates, and May 4th, when our Articles of Incorporation were filed.

We'll be doing all kinds of things throughout this year to celebrate our tenure, but we kicked it off with a Celebration Lunch on Thursday, May 5th. We had founder Bill Lantz, former principal Bill Shelley, and retired employees, Bill Frase and Ken Siegfried, come to share in the revelry, which was a great excuse to see co-workers and mentors that we miss seeing every day. We had a great time with a catered lunch, balloon decorations, a photo booth, and even a custom cake featuring one of our projects!

Take a peek at some of the highlights in the photos on this page!
