I remember Reid Ribble as a young man, when I was a boy attending AWANA's at our local church in Neenah. I recall him and his twin brother Rick as upstanding role models. Competitive in activities, learning and teaching. He had great patience with all of us kids in an active environment. Reid has a solid Biblical background which is reflected in his lifestyle and business.
