Staff News
This month’s featured employee is one of the most versatile employees we have at the Red Cedar Inn. Her name is Brenda Eachus. Perhaps some of you know her as the “Karaoke Lady”, as she hosts Karaoke for us monthly. Not only does Brenda sing and entertain, but she is also very important to the back of the house operations of Red Cedar Inn. Brenda is an excellent cook. She regularly takes a turn as the line cook, prep cook, and does the salad station duties. She has also been our hostess, bartender, and waitress. She literally can work at any position in the restaurant, and she does an excellent job wherever she works.
When she is not working for Red Cedar Inn she moonlights with her Karaoke business which she calls “Karaoke B.” Brenda loves to do private parties, wedding receptions, and any other private or commercial Karaoke or Disc Jockey engagement. She is always looking for possible customers and we recommend her highly to any of our customers who might need these services. Singing and food are truly her passion. She is an avid reader and collector of recipes and frequently will cook or provide the recipe for our daily specials.
After cooking stints at the Whitehurst Place in Bridgeton, and Meyers Country Cottage and Irish Pub in Florissant, Brenda has moved back to Pacific to care for her partially diabled mother, Delores Goldinger. Brenda’s family is truly an intergal part of the Red Cedar Inn family as her son Bryan Blankenship also works for us part time in addition to running his own business, Excel Transmission in Union. Brian’s wife Lisa is one of waitresses and dining room manager. Their son, Bryan (Tom), Brenda’s grandson is one of our bussers. Bryan has a second son, Travis, who lives with his mother in Foley, Mo. Brenda’s daughter Rhonda Blankenship was one of our bartenders. Rhonda now lives in Columbia, Mo., she was a travel director at Maritz and has traveled all over the world. Brenda has another son Kris Blankenship who is serving our country in the US Navy and is stationed in Norfolk Virginia on the Carrier George Washington. Kris is married to the former Roseanne Davis of Pacific. They have 2 children, Kelci, and Graci, making Brenda a proud grandmother four times. We thank Brenda for all her good work as she is genuinely a joy to work with.

Years ago, new engineers in the lamp division of General Electric were assigned the impossible task, as a joke, of frosting bulbs on the inside. Eventually, however, an undaunted newcomer named Marvin Pipkin not only found a way to frost bulbs on the inside, but developed an etching acid which gave minutely rounded pits, instead of sharp depressions. This marginally strengthened each bulb. Fortunately, no one had told him it couldn’t be done, so he did it.
