had a real talent for upholstery
work.
Since, she has had a dream
of opening her own shop, and
finally, with some help from the
Beaver Dam Community De
velopment organization, she has
been able to fix up the basement
of her home on Rush Branch
and open for business. Caldwell
Technical Institute has been
helping her get materials.
Mrs. Glenn says “Uphols

I really enjoy taking an old
piece of furniture and making
something beautiful out of it.”
