L. R. Good & Son, Inc. was formed in 1901 by Lemuel Randall Good.  Lemuel showed keen understanding of future technological developments, but unfortunately, his interest in software development went largely unrewarded since he died thirty years before the advent of the personal computer.  In order to pay the bills, Lemuel bought a grain elevator in Bloomdale, a small Ohio farming community.  Under Lemuel, his son and grandson the elevator prospered.  In the mid fifties they sold the grain elevator for a tidy profit.  Thirty-Five short years later, the great grandson of Lemuel, Gary W. Good, went back to Lemuel's first love and redirected the company into the development and sale of software products.  Shortly after this redirection, Gary widened the mission to include the development of application software for corporate clients.
