CLAUDE W KING

I am Claude W King, about as average American as one can get. I was born the twelfth of fourteen children to William Hobart and Edith Mae Baldwin King on June 22, 1951. Raised on a forty acre farm using old fashioned working methods. I learned the value of hard work coupled with consistency. Early in life, my mother instilled into me patriotic and responsible values.

In 1973 (30years ago) I married Kathryn Sue Strange and we have three children. Two girls and one boy. Chad is an entrepreneur in Evansville IN, Kyla is studying graphic design in Evansville, Indiana and Krista is a sophomore at Loogootee Indiana.

I work for an hourly wage as maintenance in a limestone mill in southern Indiana. Three children, home mortgage, college expenses, the works. Some of the adventures I have encountered in my life are. I worked nine years as a commercial, industrial and residential electrician in Loogootee, Indiana. Then upgraded my employment to an industrial maintenance electrician at a limestone mill in Bedford, Indiana for the past eighteen years. Working my way up to lead maintenance and for one and a half year performed alone. I repaired and maintained the mill of thirty-eight thousand square feet, over two hundred electric motors, seventy-six employees and all their mishaps. In the time I have been employed at Evans Stone we have modernized the mill from totally old fashioned to modern computers and almost trouble free operation. Portions of my job required purchasing and restocking repair parts and maintaining inventory. My job requires working with other employees and resolving mechanical situations with good conduct, diplomatically and often with humor. The maintenance field has required me to be adaptable to various working conditions and atmospheres. I have worked directly with OSHA representatives and modified equipment to their required standards. I am considered to be self motivated and have grown to require little of no supervision. My attendance is very dependable. I am very creative, experienced and knowledgeable, but always wanting to learn and willing to learn from others. I am becoming computer literate.

During my years in office of local organizations I have been in charge of public moneys, bonded and without incident. While holding offices of secretary, Treasurer, vice president and president of the local emergency unit I was responsible to arrange training sessions and meetings. While building a county fire department I helped arrange funding from local offices and conducted meetings. I have served as each office of the Burns City Water works for a total of twenty-six years. I became a certified Emergency Medical Technician, serving local ambulance companies and also at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for six years as the track attendant. I am a member in good standing of the Masons, Scottish Rite and Shriners.

Although this grant request requires me to operate a world-wide business, I am a small town guy, and intend to remain that way. That attitude and my lack of an extended education is a true asset to maintaining the quality of this program. I am more able to communicate , monitor and operate at a level most efficient to the public. At the same time utilizing professionals of each necessary facet of the business.

I believe this program should be offered to the world as a private business, rather than as a government program. I believe it should appear as a free enterprise concept of pleasure and involvement first, self restoration second.

I am average but not ordinary. I m not ordinary in the fact that I am willing to apply solutions to worthwhile problems when others just look at it and say

" thats too bad". "SOMEBODY SHOULD DO SOMETHING"

I have always had a passion to develop a world-wide improvement program to help people to help themselves. Financially unable to attend college I have invested my time and money for the past twenty-four years into research of the most feasible method of world-wide human restoration. This communication is the conclusion of that research. The Winners Music Association is the vehicle and the time is NOW!
