Peter is looking for a clean up guy

Hi,

 A few years back we had a bunch of “stuff” call it junk at our house in Gloucester that needed to be cleaned up: Old Docks and other Junk.  We found a really nice guy…I think his name was George that came and cleaned it all up for us.  I cannot remember his name or how to get in touch with him….Wondering if you knew as we have more stuff to clean up.

 Thanks…Pete
