Scope and content
Johanna Mitchell addresses the gathering at the ceremony of giving eight portraits of famous world figures done by the Hungarian artist by the Mendel family.
Bio/Historical Note: Fred Mendel's daughter, Johanna Mitchell (1917–1999), was appointed director, and later president, of Intercontinental Packers. In 1976, Fred Mendel's grandson and Johanna’s son, Michael Frederick (Fred) Mitchell (1946-1998), became the fifth generation to preside over the family company. Under his leadership Intercontinental Packers grew into one of the largest value-added pork processors in Canada. In 1986, Fred Mitchell launched the Mitchell's Gourmet Foods line of products; in 1998, Intercontinental Packers was renamed Mitchell's Gourmet Foods. That same year, Fred Mitchell passed away unexpectedly, leaving the company to his widow, LuAn Gingera Mitchell. LuAn led Mitchell's Gourmet Foods through a remarkable growth period, earning herself recognition as one of Canada's top female entrepreneurs. In 2002, LuAn sold her interest in the company to the Schneider Corporation.
