As we observe the National Small Business Week, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize an outstanding small businessman from Kansas. Fred Willich is the founder and president of an interior design company in Manhattan, Kansas, called Hi-Tech Interiors. Fred has exemplified the true character of an entrepreneur. When he started his business, Fred utilized Kansas State University's Small Business Development Center as a resource in his community. Then Fred gave back to his community in times that were difficult. Because of this, Fred has been named the Kansas Small Businessman for the year 2001. Our country was founded by entrepreneurs who believed in hard work, creativity, and the free enterprise system. Fred has built on this American spirit of success through his ownership of an American small business. He should be a role model for all of us.
