At the most recent TERC graduation, one graduate, Jacee McComber (pictured left) was not able to attend. That is because she was called by Painters Union DC#4 out of Cheektowaga and had her come in to do payroll paperwork so she can begin working as a Bridge Painter on Thursday, June 1st. Everyone at TERC is so proud, Jacee!
