My name is Reed Berger and I work in a family business in Atchison. I am the 4th generation working in our Leather and Textiles Company. We manufacture products such as knife sheaths and cotton aprons and also distribute leather raw material to companies that manufacture western goods, jean labels, and dog collars. We just finished up our 100th year in business in 2008.
I was born in Atchison and have lived here my entire life. Up until a few months after I graduated Kansas State in December of 2006, I lived with my parents in the same house since I was 1 year old. It is just up the street from my Grandparents house so I was very fortunate to be able to see my entire family on a daily basis growing up. I graduated from Atchison High School in 2002 and I have watched Atchison change over the years with community projects like the riverfront project, mall projects, and new schools being built.
I feel that Atchison is a very unique community that has much going for it. We have a strong support base of active community leaders who spend both time and money to improve the town for everybody that lives here. I look forward to working with everybody in this class to learn how other people perceive Atchison and how we can continue to improve the town to benefit everybody that lives here, including students.
