Who is Ida Reid?

"A local success story is that of Shepherd Hills Factory Outlet. In 1972, Ida Reid started a small Case Knives store on the west edge of Lebanon. With just one employee, Ida worked to put her two sons, Randy and Rod, through the University of Missouri’s engineering school in Rolla. Today Ida has 100 employees, seven stores throughout the country, a catalogue division – and Shepherd Hills is the largest Case Knives dealer in the world. Sons Randy and Rod? They work in the business.

"The Reids’ story says a lot about their community – Lebanon, Missouri, where friendly people work hard to make things happen."

There are also pictures of her in the recent Case history book by Shirley Boser, and John Sullivan, and there's a picture of Tony in that book as well.

Thanks Mike for digging that info up and posting it

Thanks Mike. That is info I should know.

I didn't know who she was until I Googled her.

BTW, that Case book has some cool pictures in it.
