| BCN Construction Hall of Fame |
On Nov. 10, Robert P. Angle, BBC 1967, was inducted into the M.E. Rinker, Sr. School of Building Construction Hall of Fame. After 10 years of significant work experience, Bob Angle and Jerry Schmid formed the firm Angle & Schmid, Inc. For 35 years, Angle served as President of the firm and guided the business as a well-respected member of the construction industry. The firm provides commercial general contracting services in the West Central Florida area with more than 400 completed projects for owners such as the U.S. Department of the Navy, U.S. Air Force, Stetson University and State of Florida school boards. The Rinker School established the Construction Hall of Fame Award in 1980 to recognize the accomplishments of those distinguished leaders who have made a difference in our industry, the community and the University of Florida throughout their careers in construction. The inductees' names will be displayed on the "Hall of Fame Wall" of the School. |
