I was in charge of making sure each vehicle purchased was transferred into the new owner's name in a timely manner. Contacting customer's to make sure they remembered to bring in the title for the vehicles they traded in. Communicating with the loan officers at several banks getting lien releases for trade in vehicles. I started with Dondelinger's when Roger Dondelinger purchased Brainerd Motor's from Scott Henderson in March of 1994. I had worked at Brainerd Motor's since July of 1986. Sue Henderson was the Office Manager at Brainerd Motor's that hired me and trained me in. Sue was very beneficial in molding me into the person I am today! I had some really great times working at Dondelinger Chevrolet and Brainerd Motor's!

I started working for Scott Henderson on July 7th 1986. Sue Riley was the Office Manager at Brainerd Motors, she took a chance and hired me on as her assistant. Sue taught me so much about the automotive business. She was a great lady to work with. When Scott sold the dealership to Roger Dondelinger in April of 1994, I was offered the title clerk position with Dondelinger Honda Mazda. After about one month I decided to move over to the Dondelinger Chevrolet title clerk position.

Mr. Donut was a great job. I really enjoyed working there. The customers were fantastic! We were also a gas station, so I was in charge of checking the level of gas in the tanks on a weekly basis. This job taught me a lot. It helped me to come out of my shell!
