When she started at Wood Stone, she was hired as the first on-site bookkeeper (formerly being done by a lady from her home).  She set up the first integrated accounting/manufacturing package - creating all the part numbers, bills of material, customer and vendor database, etc. Wood Stone was a small office at the time and she was involved in all the day-to-day machinations of the factory; human resources, sales, and manufacturing.  As the company burgeoned, Jackie requested to be included in the Sales department and train other, more qualified bean counters to take over accounting functions. She is still involved in company SOP and HR, but according to Jackie, "My firstest and bestest job is SALES, baby." 

"My favorite thing about working at Wood Stone is the people and the atmosphere; we’re all here to do the same great job together, so all of our efforts and opinions really mean something.  And we have fun doing it!"

Favorite Wood Stone recipe: "Oh jeez,,, Chocolate Gourmandize?  Charbroiled Scallops on Seaweed Salad?  Potatoes with a little salt. That’s it, roast potatoes. No wait!  Corn pudding! No wait!  Berry Cobbler!"
