Actually, C.K. Blandin first gained an interest in the paper company in Grand Rapids in approximately 1916, the name was changed to the Blandin Paper Company in 1929, and it was sold in 1977. It is now owned by a company based in Finland. Charles K. Blandin established the Blandin Foundation in 1941, and it is completely independent of the paper company.

The leadership program sounds like an excellent opportunity for our superintendent to strengthen his leadership skills at this difficult time for the school district and learn more about the health of the community as a whole. I commend him for taking part in it.
