Time for a Knapp After more than a year of working out of the family basement—and actually, the whole house—Norm and Rosemary moved their quickly growing business to a small building on Knapp Street, about a mile from their house. The year was 1972, and it was at this new location that they began making parts for the automotive industry. Of course, Norm was still working full time at Grand Rapids Controls as well. During these early years, he’d come home for dinner—after a full day at Grand Rapids Controls—and then spend the rest of the evening over at Byrne Electrical. He worked himself ragged. They both did. But boy, was it exciting! KFORD
