Thanks to Darren Berry, maintenance staffer. From the time we moved into our apartment, our oven didn't work properly - it kept shutting off automatically. We contacted Darren and his persistence in having the problem fixed (with the help of a registered electrician) gave us the oven we needed to enjoy something other than microwaved food. Thanks, Darren, for your determination in getting this issue sorted. And, thank you, The McEwan, for giving Darren the resources he needed.
