Strong And Conservative, Maybe A Canidate In 2012

Beloit - If anyone thought Diane Hendricks would fade into the shadows of a widow's sorrow, they thought wrong.

Of course she grieves for her late husband, Ken.

"I can count on my hand the number of nights I wasn't with him in those 40 years," she said recently as she sat at the small oval conference table in her office.

"But she's also a businesswoman - the richest in Wisconsin, the employer of thousands and, by her account, "probably one of the most responsible people you'll ever meet."

So when a competitor circled in on her company, ABC Supply, with a buyout proposal that Hendricks believes was driven partly by an assumption that Ken's death would soften her as a target, she turned the tables.

She bought the competitor."
