That's The Ticket
In other ADI news, Craig Wohl, President of C.W. Security out of Dublin, PA, was the
second lucky winner of ADI's "Big Ticket" Sweepstakes.
Wohl got whisked away to the Super Bowl in Jacksonville, FL, where he and his son (both diehard Philadelphia Eagles fans) enjoyed, on ADI, 5-day/4-night hotel accommodations, an NFL stadium tailgate party, and pre and post-game hospitality.
Wohl, who attended the Cherry Hill, NJ, Expo says "I never thought I'd win. But, I filled out the entry form and threw it in the bowl and got to go the ultimate bowl." Good stuff.
