As president of Mount Mansfield Co. since 1997, Barre native Hank Lunde has steered Stowe Mountain Resort out of choppy waters with a philosophy of civility, sensitivity and consideration he says he learned from his parents. Lunde has led Stowe's premier mountain company back to prominence ... and profit.
A farm background and an eager enthusiasm helped David Grimm turn the Champlain Valley Exposition into one of the best-used fairgrounds in the United States. Soon after graduating from Ohio State in 1973, David Grimm took a job as the farm director for a radio station in Worthington, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Grimm, the owner of a pleasant, authoritative voice well-suited for the airwaves, enjoyed the work, particularly when it called for his attendance at the Ohio State Fair.
Dick Mazza and the store he helped his father build 50 years ago continue to evolve with the times. There was a time when every street corner had a store like ours," Dick Mazza reminisces. A locally owned, full-scale grocery store with everything the neighbors needed for their weekly (or even daily) shopping trips was commonplace, he says. "Now they are pretty much history and we're one of the last in Chittenden County."
An enthusiasm for food and a creative approach have allowed the Storm Café to prosper. Seven years ago, chefs John and Karen Goettelmann were living and working in Worcester, Mass., dreaming of opening a restaurant of their own. One day, they saw an ad in the business opportunities newsletter from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., where they had studied and met in 1988. It was for a place called the Storm Café in Middlebury, Vermont.
It's hard to say which, if either, of Jeff Snyder's jobs is moonlighting. Certainly his first love is his Underhill hot-air balloon company, Above Reality. For 30 hours a week, until the balloon business can fully support him, he's also a para-educator with sixth-grade special education students at Essex Middle School.
