This business was founded by Andrew Jackson Smith, a WWII Marine Veteran of Guadalcanal and 46 year retiree of Rodchester Rope of Culpeper, Virginia. Many know him from working at Ace Hardware where he worked after he was tired "of sitting and being retired". Andy has helped many people over the years and has had some good helpers too. He has found a helper that he trusts implicitly and has been training him for the last three years and turned the reins over to him last July. Carl L Lukkes, is honored to be given this opportunity and blessing. Andy is still involved with the business on a "when he feels like workin" basis and keeps Carl straight. Andy maintains that he will be around for the next 20 years to make sure Carl "is doing it right". Carl is sticking around and watching over Andy and his wife Myrtie (65 yrs of bliss), assisting when needed and making sure Andy makes that next 20. Stop in. We have an open door, we look forward to serving you
