I (Paula) am the Office Manager and Accountant at Santel Communications Cooperative.  My responsibilities include assisting the General Manager, supervision of office employees, all accounting functions for Santel, writing newsletters, customer service, and anything else that comes along.  I love my job!  I am a 1986 graduate of Woonsocket High School and a 1990 graduate of Northern State University with Bachelor of Science degrees in Accounting and Management.  I served 8 years in the US Army Reserve and SD National Guard.  My last 5 years were spent at the SD Military Academy with the OCS program.  When I ended my career in 1995 to start a family, I was the Senior TAC Officer and at the rank of Captain.  I am the choir director and high school youth leader for St. Wilfrid Catholic Church, and a member of the American Legion Post #29, the American Legion Auxiliary and the Catholic Daughters of America.  In my "spare" time, I enjoy spending time with my family, vacationing in Cancun, MX, singing, scrapbooking, walking, gardening and other outside activities.

Henry is a 1982 graduate of Woonsocket High School and a 1987 graduate of South Dakota State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanized Agriculture with a Business option.  He served 6 1/2 years in the SD National Guard and is a Desert Storm veteran.  He is a member of the American Legion Post #29.  Henry's first love is the farm!  Henry was the Agronomy Manager at the Woonsocket Cenex from 1995 to 2001; but in Summer 2001, he returned to full-time farming.  We live on the family "Century" farm outside of Woonsocket where we raise beef, corn and soybeans.  In Henry's "spare" time, he enjoys spending time with family, vacationing in Cancun, gardening, watching football and baseball, and fishing. 

We have been married 13 years and are the proud parents of four children: Jonathan Henry, Aaron Ray, Nathan Alan and Megan Ann.
