Thank you very much for sharing....
 
I always knew the firm name, but not much about the named partners. It is refreshing to read about a structural firm with the courage to name itself after the founders, rather than using some alphabet moniker. RIP Mr. Thornton.
 
A giant in the industry, for sure. Worth another bump to the top.
 
It's abbreviated TT, though. Did an interesting report on the Indiana State Fair collapse back in the day. Not sure if any of the big guys were involved in it.
