Here’s an interesting little sidelight to the recent World Series.
Figuring prominently in the rain-management and groundskeeping activities for the series were tools manufactured in Warsaw, Indiana, by Midwest Rake Company LLC.
The president of Midwest Rake is Bill Henthorn, a 1976 business administration graduate of Grace College, Winona Lake, Ind., and a former banker with Lake City Bank. Bill and his wife, Bobbi, are members of the Winona Lake (IN) Grace Brethren church, where he is heavily involved with the video and media ministry.
A number of Grace grads are associated with Midwest Rake. In the “about us” section of the company’s website, the following appears: “We try to honor God in all we do. Although it’s often a struggle and we stumble and fall along the way, we thank God for the success of Midwest Rake Company and recognize the Bible as the best road map for living and doing business. No apologies. This does not make us better than anyone else, but it does mean that we try hard to work with others the way we would like them to work with us. We value relationships as well as sales.”
