October 26, 1993 <br /> . Economic Development <br /> Micro Fund <br /> Elk River, Minnesota <br /> RE: Resume of Owner <br /> Dear Economic Development Board; <br /> Felix realized he had a talent with wood in high school shop class. <br /> He was chosen to complete two special projects; a platform rocker <br /> and a freighter canoe. He graduated in 1969 from Grand Rapids <br /> High School. After graduation he moved to Twin Cities where he <br /> enrolled in Vol Tech school and worked in two cabinet shops, Bob's <br /> Cabinets and Suburban Wood Products. In two years he finished <br /> his schooling and became a journeyman cabinet maker with Suburban. <br /> Felix worked for Suburban Wood Products for 11 years leaving Suburban <br /> 2 years after our move to Elk River in June of 1978. The drive to <br /> Richfield each day was becoming longer and longer with increased <br /> traffic. Felix went to work for Beal's Cabinets in Crystal and <br /> worked at Beal's until a strike forced Beal's out of business. <br /> At this time Suburban had approached Felix to go on his own and <br /> manufacture raised panel doors. The business was started in the <br /> home. As Felix set up his business he also worked at Associated <br /> • <br /> Wood Products as a manager in the door department. This gave him <br /> more experience for the future. <br /> Eventually business at home was too busy to work for anyone else. <br /> At this time Felix moved business out of home to a larger space <br /> and has devoted all his time to Woodsmen Quality Products Inc. <br /> Jeanne graduated from St. Louis Park High School in 1969 in the <br /> top 1/3 of her class of 849 students. I had 1 trimester at UofM <br /> when entire family moved to Phoenix. I then completed a year and <br /> a half of Glendale Community College in Phoenix. <br /> At twenty years of age I moved back to Twin Cities by my self and <br /> worked as a secretary for Blue Shield of Minnesota. In 1973 Felix <br /> and I were married. I chose a job closer to home at this point <br /> and became a bank teller for Northwestern National Bank of Hopkins. <br /> Two years later when our first son Troy was born I left the bank <br /> to be a full time mother. Since,I have remained home filling in <br /> with part time jobs as election judge for city of Elk River, <br /> Secretary at St. Andrew's School and secretary for Woodsmen <br /> Quality Products Inc, plus much volunteer for church and school. <br /> Sincerel ; (L.--7---Z664d) r. 00 , <br /> / . <br /> . .X' <br /> Felix(Theofil)E.
