Katrina Ralston remembers when her parents set out for a vacation to Europe back in the mid-1980s. At the time, her dad, Ernie Ralston, owned and operated their family?s business on the edge of the San Francisco Bay ? a rigging shop (Feeney Wire Rope & Rigging) that handled heavy duty industrial rigging for tow trucks, bridges, cranes, aircraft carriers and over-head lifting ventures. Katrina, who is now the president of Sales/Finance/Operations/Marketing at that same family business ? now known as Feeney ? recalls her dad coming back from the trip with a big idea.
