Rockport Chamber of Commerce president and real estate broker Judy Guillett, 44, said she was excited but that most Rockport residents were not. “A lot of people say, ‘Oh, they’re just wasting their time,’ but I don’t feel those people understand the full impact of what this means,” she said. “These businessmen are entering a new venture, some thing that business can do to provide a service for other businesses. This will help make the country and the world a better place to live. I think it’s just great,” Guillett said. Thirty engineers from Houston, California and Ger many, and staff employed by SSI have helped the Rockport tourist economy. And a bill board returned thanks. “Good luck!
