Julie had been organizing workflow and improving office processes in the banking, advertising, and manufacturing industries for over twenty years. Len spent twenty-five years in the travel industry where he worked with United Airlines in the automation field. In February 1996 Julie founded Executive Office Solutions, Inc. so she could work closer to home and have more time with their children. In 1999 Len joined the company to help keep pace with the company's steady growth. We met with Julie and Len recently, and listened as they provided this overview of the services Executive Office Solutions offers; http://www.lorain-ohio.com/eosolutions/index.html http://www.lorain-ohio.com/yeolderadioshoppe/index.html While a high school student, Noel S. Ilg collaborated with one of his instructors in the design of a successful radio repair course. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Navy as a radio technician, and soon became one of the Navy's electronics instructors. Upon returning home, Noel opened his own business in September 1946 where he sold and repaired television sets, radios, stereos, and hi-fi's, and grew his company to employ a staff of twenty-three. By the mid-1970s the consumer electronics industry was becoming extremely competitive and Noel sold his shop in 1979 and turned his full-time attention to church music. Throughout the following years, although, he found he missed fixing old radios, so in 1992 Noel founded Ye Olde Radio Shoppe in Avon Lake, Ohio. We visited with Noel recently, and listened as he provided this overview of Ye Olde Radio Shoppe's services and offerings; http://www.lorain-ohio.com/yeolderadioshoppe/index.html http://www.lorain-ohio.com/bluesky/index.html Working for over nineteen years in administration and customer service, Jeanne M. Hall began to search for a business opportunity that would utilize her computer and customer service skills. She discovered in the late 1990s that automated medical billing enabled medical service providers to submit their claims to insurance companies electronically, thereby eliminating their dependence on the mail and improving their cash flow by receiving their payments quickly. Many medical practitioners, although, were not taking advantage of this revolutionary technique due to the high cost of the software needed. Jeanne decided to make the investment in the necessary software, offer her services to the medical community, and in 1999 founded Blue Sky Automated Billing. We visited with Jeanne recently, and listened as she offered this overview of the services Blue Sky Automated Billing provides; http://www.lorain-ohio.com/bluesky/index.html http://www.lorain-ohio.com/pantherpress/index.html Brothers Dave and Bill Kasper combined their talents in January 1995 to found Panther Press Inc. on Brecksville Road.
