Rashaan Little (5:40 P.M.) Hi, Amanda and Desmond. Earlier today I learned that the town has hired our company to demolish the lighthouse. Amanda Richards (5:43 P.M.) So did I. I have mixed feelings about taking down that structure, though. Desmond Williams (5:43 P.M.) This is the first time that I'm learning about that. I was out of the office all day today. Rashaan Little (5:44 P.M.) How so, Amanda? Amanda Richards (5:46 P.M.) Well, given that business has been quite slow lately, our company needs the work. Then again, the lighthouse has historic value: it has been a major landmark of Burlingate for 100 years. Rashaan Little (5:48 P.M.) I realize that. But the company can't afford to pass up this opportunity for the reason you mentioned. Besides, lighthouses have largely become outdated. Desmond Williams (5:49 P.M.) Not really. There's always a need for ships to get warnings about dangerous locations. Lighthouses have served that function for years. Rashaan Little (5:51 P.M.) True, but modern technological equipment exists now that simplifies navigation and increasingly makes lighthouses a thing of the past. Anyway, let's meet tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. to discuss how we'll carry out this job.
