Battle of Bunker Hill. The first shots in the Battle of Bunker Hill, 1775 came from the British Sloop Man-of-War, the LIVELY. Also, a Captain Samuel Gridley played an important part in the battle. Both the names of Lively and Gridley play important roles in the history of the Lively surname as well; Gridley being a rural community in California where many of the California branch of the Livelys originated. Here is the story:
Shortly after the skirmishes in Massachusetts at Lexington and Concord, April 1775, state militia from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont assembled in Cambridge and the areas surrounding Boston. For the British, General Gage and 6500 soldiers were in possession of Boston proper. The American force consisted of over 16,000 men but sickness and the absent brought the actual number of active soldiers closer to 9000. There were other problems; the American force was woefully short of gunpowder, having approximately 30 half barrels of powder beyond that carried in the horns of the citizen soldiers.
In the two months following Concord, efforts were made to bring organization to the rag-tag American Army. But the work was difficult and progress slow. By mid-June the army was still a collection of individual Militia regiments, headed by officers who were viewed more as neighbors of the common soldier rather than trained leaders. The Continental Congress was working on legislation to regularize the militia and see that they were paid, but by mid-June they still had not acted. To complicate matters, militia units were responsible only to their own militia commanders, who were, in turn, responsible to their own state governments. General Artemus Ward who was commanding general of the Massachusetts militia and was leading the largest contingent of troops, held nominal authority over the non-Massachusetts forces – leadership by prestige.
General Gage, on the other hand, considered his force too small to effectively attack the rebels and hold the countryside surrounding Boston. And he had realistic concerns that the surrounding heights of Dorchester and Charlestown could provide an excellent opportunity for the rebels to place cannon and threaten Boston. So, he began to plan measures to secure these strategic positions. But words leaked out and the Boston Committee of Safety recommended to Ward that he pre-empt the British move and seize Bunker Hill above Charlestown. Col. William Prescott was asked to lead a night mission to establish a redoubt on Bunker Hill. Together with 300 men of Prescott’s regiment, and parts of Ebenezer Bridge’s and Col. James Frye’s regiment, 200 Connecticut men under Capt. Thomas Knowlton from Putnam’s regiment and Capt. Samuel Gridley’s artillery company with two light guns, they set out at 5 pm in the evening of June 16th and assembled on the common in Cambridge. After a prayer they moved off quietly for the Horse’s Neck next to Bunker Hill.
The Charlestown peninsula is approximately one and a quarter miles long and lies between the Charles River on the west and the Mystic River on the east. On the north, the peninsula is joined to the mainland by a narrow neck which is only thirty feet wide at high tide. Bunker Hill rises across the narrow western end of the peninsula and at 100 feet high, dominates the Neck. Any fortification constructed there would be out of effective range of the British battery on Copp’s Hill in Boston and would be too high to permit elevation of shipboard guns in the harbor. To the south and east of Bunker Hill lies Breeder’s Hill, some 60 feet high gradually sloping to the harbor and Charlestown to its south and west.
Under cover of darkness, the American force crossed the Neck and moved up Bunker Hill. On the far slope the column stopped. An argument broke out among the leaders; Prescott asserted that Ward’s verbal orders had been to fortify the lower and more exposed Breeder’s Hill. Capt. Gridley, who was serving the role of engineer added to the ruckus contending that valuable time was being lost. At last the decision was made to make Breeder’s Hill the primary fortification and Bunker Hill the secondary fortification, if and when time permitted. The column moved on to Breeder’s Hill where, at its apex, Gridley staked out the outline of a redoubt approximately 132 feet square. As the clock struck midnight, the men began to dig.
Prescott sent a company to patrol the shore and another to stand by close to the town. About 4 o’clock, the lookout on His Majesty’s sloop-man-of-war, the Lively, with 20 guns, spotted the work on the redoubt and sounded the alarm. Captain Thomas Bishop immediately beat to quarters and opened fire. Bishop, who had recently been found guilty by court marital for deliberate neglect of duty over the disposition of proceeds of a captured Spanish ship, was determined not to be caught neglectful again. The Admiral of the fleet, sent a boat to stop the shooting but then seeing the problem for himself in the improving light, ordered his ships and the Copp’s Hill battery to open fire.
Gage called a hasty council of war. After exploring a number of options with Generals Clinton and Howe, Gage decided on an amphibious assault with a landing on Moulton’s Point below Breeder’s Hill.
In the meantime, Prescott’s men had consumed their one-day’s ration in the course of digging the redoubt and a lucky cannonball had crashed the two barrels of water that had been carried in. As the cannonade continued, the men in the redoubt began to question the wisdom of remaining under fire. In the light of day, British troops could be seen across the harbor assembling in Boston. Yet, Col. Prescott was determined to fight. He had already quelled the men’s fears by leaping to the parapet after the first man was killed by a cannon shot, and slowly strolling along its exposed top to demonstrate the relative lack of danger from cannon fire.
In the meantime, General Issac Putnam, who had ridden out to confer with Col. Prescott when the Lively opened fire, was riding back to Cambridge in search of General Ward to urge reinforcement of Prescott. But Ward was concerned that reinforcing Prescott would weaken his forces elsewhere and wanted to wait to learn where the British would attack. By 11 o’clock two British gondolas approached the Neck and began firing at anything that moved. By noon the British were in boats and Howe with about 1500 men, embarked at one o’clock.
Ward issued reinforcement orders to nine Massachusetts regiments, John Stark’s and James Reed’s New Hampshire regiments, and several artillery companies. All was confusion; each regiment moved as best it thought and all the time men and officers were disappearing to avoid the impending fight. The scene at the neck was chaotic; several Massachusetts regiments blocked the entrance fearful of crossing under direct cannon fire.
Col. Stark and Reed of the New Hampshire troops got the order to advance at two in the afternoon. Hastily assembling their men, they discovered that many were short of powder and shot. When the men were issued shot, more time was lost because the men had to size the shot to the proper caliber for their particular weapon. When the New Hampshire troops arrived at the entrance to the Neck and found the Massachusetts troops blocking the way, Major Andrew McClary pushed his way to the front and asked. “If Massachusetts didn’t happen to need the road just then, would they mind moving over to let New Hampshire through?” The Massachusetts men moved into the ditches.
By two, Howe had his troops landed and surveyed the situation and determined that he needed more men. He sent a boat back across to Boston requesting reinforcements. The artillery battery that had been brought over by boat was now deployed on the forward slope of Breeder’s Hill and had opened fire by 3pm.
By now two recently appointed American Generals had arrived on the scene: Dr. Joseph Warren and General Seth Pomeroy. Neither wished for command and asked but to be directed to where the fighting was expected to be the hottest. They went to the fortifications to observe.
By three, Howe’s reinforcements had arrived and he formed the men on line in three ranks.
Stark and the New Hampshire troops and some other units had arrived, and using a stone fence and placing hay between an existing fence and hastily assembled wood fence, extended the breastworks down to the waterline.
The British advanced.
Stark had placed a stake in the ground 30 yards in front of his fence and urged his men to wait until the enemy had passed the stake before firing. Prescott is said to have instructed his men not to fire until they saw the “whites of their eyes”.
On Bunker Hill a strange collection of men had gathered. Some who had straggled in from the Neck and others who had given themselves leave from the ensuing fight were there. General Isaac Putnam tried sorely to roust the men either to commence work on the Bunker Hill defenses or to go in support of Prescott and Stark. All his efforts, even threatening at sword point, were of no avail. The only regimental commander who was with him was Col. Samuel Gerrish, who, depending on accounts, was either trying to help Putnam or was hiding himself.
When the British closed to thirty yards the Americans opened fire with devastating effect. In some British companies 7 out of 10 were killed. The survivors stumbled back down the hill. When Howe returned to the bottom, he asked why the artillery battery had ceased firing while they were still approaching the Americans. To his chagrin he discovered that boxes of 12 pound shot had been sent over and his artillery had 6 pound cannons. Howe ordered them to shoot grape shot and sent back across the water for the proper ammunition. On Howe’s left the American Company, still in the town, had taken to firing into his left flank. The Admiral, having landed, suggested burning the town. Howe agreed. The Admiral returned to his fleet and ordered the firing of red hot shot into Charlestown; and the town of 400 buildings went up in a huge conflagration.
The British came on twice more with losses similar to the first assault; but the third assault succeeded, just barely, in over running the defensive wall. The men with Prescott being out of powder had tried to make do by braking the powder out of artillery casings and using scrap for bullets. Finally, in the midst of hand to hand fighting Prescott called a retreat and the survivors scrambled over the back of the fortifications. Joseph Warren, one of the Generals there to observe, was killed when he was shot in the back of the head.
Finally several more American Regiments traversed the Neck, and passing to the right of Bunker Hill laid down a covering fire for Prescott’s men. Soon the British advanced on them and were in a bloody stand up fight. Quickly, the troops obediently fell back turning time and again to lay down delaying fire permitting most of the men an escape across the Neck to Cambridge.
The British were exhausted. Pursuit was out of the question.
The British casualty report; 19 officers and 207 enlisted men were killed, 70 officers and 738 enlisted men were wounded. On the American side, numbers varied, but Ward’s record book showed 115 killed and 305 wounded.

Claudia Lively.
Chauncy was born in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, May 23, 1919. He is the son of Chauncy C. and Grace King Lively. He grew up in Waynesburg in western Pennsylvania where his father was a psychology professor. Chauncy attended the college where his father taught and there, while taking freshman English, he met his future wife, Marion Aiken.
In college, Chauncy had a band: “Kay Lively, His Trombone and Orchestra.” I’m told by his daughters that Marion loved to dance but rarely got a chance because Chauncy was usually playing and if he wasn’t, he was standing by the bandstand watching the musicians. In his junior year he tried out for the Larry Funk Band – which was well known at the time. Chauncy toured with them on the east coast.
With degrees in science and psychology, but with a passion for music, he entered the army in 1941 and spent most of his service in Texas as a Master Sergeant and band leader. He married Marion in 1943 and after the war they returned to Pennsylvania and lived in the Pittsburg area. He worked for many years in radio and TV as a music manager, both scoring music and writing original music. He also played in many bands of the big band era when they appeared in the Pittsburg area.
In later years, Chauncy changed professions, moving into mortgage banking and insurance and worked in this profession until retiring in 1984.

Edd Lively and the Movers. A blues music band from Texas. Theme; “How can I rock you”. Blues Band of the Year – Texas Music. The Best Blues/Soul Act Currently Working North Texas – Forth Worth Star-Telegram.
BIO: “I first heard Freddie King when I was sixteen.” Edd Lively is yet another testament to the power of blues music; Texas blue in particular. From the first exposure as a young man, the blues would always be woven into the fabric of this young musician’s life in the south.
Edd Lively would later bloom into a unique blues musician in his own right, establishing his own place as a blues innovator, not imitator. Lively’s first groups were classic 1960’s rick bands playing covers from that period. He first achieved recognition with a group known as The Modds. Using their own unique influences, the band covered a Beatles song and made the Top 20 play list for KXOL, a local radio station, in 1965.
Lively honed his talents for guitar playing and singing through such bands as The Modds and The Continentals. Then, at the tender age of seventeen, Lively took his young family to Los Angeles to pursue a recording career.
Lively paid his dues with a few lean years in L.A. until he hit again in the form of a band named El Roacho toured as a support act for Freddie King. It was during this time that Columbia Records signed the band to a recording contract.
When El Roacho disbanded, Lively was tapped for the rhythm guitar position in Freddie King’s band. It was during his tenure with King’s band that Lively toured the world extensively and continuously until 1975. At that time, Lively left the band to pursue a solo career. During those fast paced years with Freddie King, Lively performed on several live European albums and video and television shows of that period.
1997 finds Edd Lively back on the front line of the blues scene. This time as a leader of his own band, Edd Lively and the Movers. The band will release a CD in the summer of 1997 entitled “You Don’t Get The Jazz, You Get The Blues.”
With a driving guitar lead and a cool blues groove all its own, Edd Lively and the Movers has proven to be one of the most powerful and influencial groups in the Texas Music Scene and Edd Lively himself continues to make a poignant and important contribution to the art form known as the blues.

Mayor of Houston 1839. George Fisher was elected to the position of Mayor of
Houston in a contested election which was later overthrown. A subsequent
election showed Fisher the loser to George W. Lively, the third real mayor of
Houston. The
election was certified July 22, 1839 after a six-month contest. He
served as mayor only until the end of the year when a Charles Bigelow succeeded
him. A William T. Lively died at his house in September 1839 and we suspect some
impact from this on his public life. We also know George W. Lively made frequent
trips to New Orleans by boat.
First arrived in Texas July 1837. Acquired land on a conditional certificate (class 2 – must have family), 1280 acres issued March 27, 1837 in Harris County; and an unconditional certificate issued January 6, 1851 in Harris County.

Jack Lively, a baseball player who played for the Oakland Oaks in the Pacific Coast League, and the Detroit Tigers.
His story is written by Steve A. Maze:
If you lived on
the eastern edge of Cullman County, Ala., during the late 1890s, you might have
seen a youngster throwing rocks at the Joppa Methodist Church. The young lad
wasn't vandalizing the religious site – he was honing his pitching skills by
throwing at a knothole in one of the boards on the side of the building. He
couldn't afford a baseball and settled for tossing rocks. The young man's name
was Henry Everett Lively, but everyone called him Jack.
He joined a Cullman sandlot team before playing with Joppa High School when he
was old enough. It has been said that Lively threw so hard that he didn't need
fielders behind him since no one could hit his fastball. His athletic prowess
was so great that he was sometimes elevated above position players in the
batting lineup, or even used as a pinch hitter—something that is almost unheard
of today. Lively was a phenomenal athlete, and he was determined to make it to
the major leagues. It wasn't long before minor league scouts began vying for his
services.
Playing for a
minor league team exposed Lively to a life outside of rural Joppa, Ala. He told
Tyrus Bailey about his first trip away from home to play baseball.
"I went by horse and buggy to Cullman where I caught a train to Huntsville. The
first time I saw electric lights was when I got to Huntsville."
Lively was playing for Montgomery in 1908 when he pitched a no-hitter against
Little Rock. He faced 28 men during the game and only one opposing player
reached base when Montgomery's center fielder dropped an easy fly ball. Lively
would recall years later that the no-hitter was his greatest accomplishment in
baseball. Soon, newspaper headlines were singing praise to the Joppa native. One
read: "Lively is Pitching Best Ball in the South and is After Record."
Lively moved on to the California farm leagues and pitched for Oakland in 1910.
The first night he arrived in town, however, Lively was running late and failed
to meet his new teammates. He wandered about town all alone until 11 o'clock
that night when he checked into a rooming house.
He paid for his room and while doing so, carelessly flashed the gold he was
carrying. (Baseball players were often paid in gold instead of cash during that
era.) Lively noticed a couple of hoodlums staring at him from across the room.
He immediately knew he was being sized up for a robbery attempt. Lively hurried
up to his dingy room and locked the door – hoping to get a good nights rest
before joining the club the following day.
About 2 a.m., he was awakened by someone trying to fit a key into the lock of
his door. The Alabama native had intentionally left his key in the lock to
prevent anyone from inserting another key in the door.
After a few moments, several other people joined the first intruder and began
rattling the door in an effort to shake the key out of the lock. Lively sprang
from his bed and asked those on the outside what they wanted.
They said they were there "To see George." Lively knew this was a ploy to get
him to open the door and told them to be on their way. As a matter of precaution
he opened the window with the intention of calling for assistance should the
hoodlums burst open the door. Instead, he found another man beneath the window
who was also "looking for George."
Lively had no weapon with which to protect himself. Thinking quickly, he grabbed
his baseball shoes and clicked the spikes together – imitating the sound of a
hammer on a gun being cocked.
"I bet you'll tell me who's there now," Lively screamed. There was an immediate
sound of footsteps beating a path down the stairs and away from his room. The
Oakland recruit spent the rest of the night very much awake and changed his
place of abode at sunrise.
"It's a mighty nice reception to give a stranger," Lively was heard telling a
sportswriter the following day.
The Alabamian had a phenomenal year for Oakland in 1910. He started 54 games,
completing 52 and winning 33. Newspaper headlines screamed: "Lively Was an
Enigma," and "Lively is Leading League Pitcher." The pitching phenom soon caught
the attention of the Detroit Tigers, and they bought his contract for a reported
$3,000. Several teams were trying to obtain Lively's contract from Oakland, but
Detroit Tiger manager Hugh Jennings wanted to win the pennant in 1911 and felt
the big right hander would help them do so.
But there was to be one more newspaper headline that would come back to haunt
Lively later on. It read: "Sixteen Inning Game Stopped by Darkness." Lively
pitched the entire 16 innings and years later would say that his arm felt
"heavy" the morning following the game.
Lively's debut as a member of the Detroit Tigers was a 5-2 victory over the
Cleveland Indians. He allowed only six hits against a good Cleveland team that
included players such as "Shoeless Joe" Jackson and Napolean Lajoie. Lively
struck out Jackson during a critical situation in the eighth inning. He then
helped himself to victory in the bottom half of the inning by stroking a single.
It was during his stint with the Detroit Tigers that Lively became friends with
one of the most famous players to ever step on a baseball diamond – Tyrus
Raymond Cobb. Many of Cobb's own teammates despised him and the bad blood
resulted in many fistfights between the "Georgia Peach" and other team members.
The teammates, whom Cobb often referred to as "northerners," would often saw his
favorite bats in half or nail his spikes to the wooden floor of the dugout.
Due to his negative relationship with his teammates, rumors have been circulated
over the years that Cobb never had a roommate. That was not the case in 1911,
however. Jack Lively was Cobb's roommate when the club traveled to American
League cities for a game. Lively wondered how he wound up rooming with Cobb, but
he heard that "Georgia Peach" requested him for a roommate. Being from Georgia,
Cobb would have found it refreshing to hear the deep southern drawl in which his
new friend from Alabama spoke.
Lively got along well with Cobb and never spoke negatively about him during his
lifetime. In fact, he said that Cobb was the greatest baseball player who ever
lived. Lively felt the negative feelings by teammates and other people who knew
Cobb was due to his intensely competitive nature.
"Ty was very mild mannered in civilian clothes," Lively later stated, "but you
didn't mess with him when he had his uniform on."
Lively witnessed Cobb go as high as six rows into the stands to fight a fan who
had made personally offensive remarks toward him, and then come back onto the
field to finish a game. He also saw Cobb click his spikes together in mid-air
while sliding into a base.
Lively also remembered Cobb as being thrifty with his money. The two would
shower at the clubhouse after a game before walking back to their hotel room.
They would always stop outside the hotel and get a newspaper from a paper boy
standing out front. Newspaper were two cents so Jack would flip the paper boy a
quarter and let him keep the change since the tip was the youngster's only
source of income. Cobb would give the boy a nickel and wait up to five minutes
for the three cents change.
Lively and Cobb would eat dinner at the hotel after reading the paper, and then
retire to their room. Once there, they had a friendly wrestling match to see who
was the strongest. "The bed would go down first, then a table or chair," Lively
recalled.
Cobb learned through roughhousing with Lively that he could get better leverage
by wrestling barefooted. The baggy uniforms of the day hid Cobb's wiry, muscular
body. "Ty was stout as a bull," Lively often said.
One day when they were eating at the hotel, a teammate—who was considerably
larger than Cobb—came up to their table and challenged the future Hall of Famer
to a fight.
"Let me finish dinner, and we'll go up to our room and settle this thing," Cobb
responded.
The entire team was waiting outside the room when Cobb and Lively arrived. The
other teammates were no doubt hoping to see the "Georgia Peach" take a severe
beating. Lively smiled when he noticed Cobb slipping his shoes off when he
entered the room. Cobb proceeded to beat the larger teammate to a pulp.
One of the benefits to being Cobb's friend was that many people wanted to meet
the famous ballplayer. Cobb was invited to the White House in 1911 and asked
Lively to go with him. They were shown into the executive offices of the White
House and met by President Taft who warmly greeted them.
Lively started 14 games for Detroit that year and completed 10. Not only was
Lively a hard thrower, he also threw a spitball, which was within the rules of
the game at that time. He also claimed to have been the first major league
pitcher to throw a knuckle ball in a major league game.
Lively finished the season with a record of seven wins and five losses. Not bad
for a rookie pitcher, but hardly the exceptional year that was expected of
someone with his talent. There was a reason for his pitching performance, but he
couldn't tell anyone. His arm was hurting. In fact, it had never felt right
since pitching the 16-inning game the year before. Lively feared Detroit would
release him should they discover he was injured.
Lively started with Detroit in 1912, but was sold to Connie Mack's Philadelphia
Athletics after the season began. One day while warming up in Philadelphia,
Lively heard something pop in his arm. "It sounded like a .22 rifle shot," he
said.
The arm injury ended his major league career, and Lively was devastated. Because
of his genuine love for baseball, Lively went home and paced the floor like a
caged lion. Lively's wife, Minnie, recalled that she was barely able to live
with him during that period. After a failed comeback attempt, Lively moved to
Birmingham, Ala., and went to work for American Cast Iron Pipe Company (ACIPCO).
Manufacturing plants such as ACIPCO would give former major leaguers jobs in
order to get them to play on the company baseball team. Lively played with them
for several years and managed the team later on.
During the mid-1930s, Ty Cobb got word to Lively that he would be coming to the
Birmingham area on business and wanted to meet with his old teammate. Lively
surprised everyone when he sent word back to Cobb that he would not be able to
attend the meeting. Cobb had become a very wealthy man, but Lively had not fared
as well financially. Lively's pride would not allow him to meet his former
roommate under those conditions.
After retiring from ACIPCO in 1949, Lively moved back to Joppa. He later built a
house just north of Arab, Ala., in order to pursue his favorite pastime – fox
hunting. Lively's wife died in 1966 and he went to live with his son, Bud
Lively, a former major leaguer himself. Lively died in Arab in 1967. Both Lively
and his wife Minnie are buried at Hebron Church of Christ cemetery outside of
Arab.
Jack Lively never made it to the baseball Hall of Fame, but should there ever be
a hall of fame for country boys who worked hard to make their dreams come true,
he will surely be inducted.

“John Lively advertised that his wife, Constant, made an elopement from him about 12 months ago and went up and down the neighborhood to make him appear as ridiculous as she could; he will no longer pay any of her debts.”

John Lively hitched his two mules to the wagon as he always did only to discover that on this particular morning the mules decided to live up to their reputation for stubbornness. When he said, "Gitty-up" they refused to move. When he tried to lead them, they stood still. Exasperated, he pile some brush under them and set it on fire. The mules walked forward several feet to avoid the heat. This movement, of course, pulled the wooden wagon directly over the fire. John desperately unhitched the mules and rolled his wagon from over the fire by himself. The mules nonchalantly walked over to the nearest grass and began grazing.

Kathryn Lively. Kathryn Lively was born Kathryn Ann Beyerle in Jacksonville, Florida in 1971. She attended Forrest High School on the Westside and Jacksonville University, where she served as managing editor of the school’s paper, the Navigator, in her senior year. After graduating with a B.A. in English 1993 and holding fast to her dreams of becoming a journalist, she immediately found work . . . in a bookstore.
A brief stint as a graduate student at the University of Georgia, where she went after marrying Malcolm Lively in 1994, failed, and Kathryn was left with no recourse but to find a job . . . in another bookstore. From there she went on to four years with the UGA Library, where she designed the original website for the Acquisitions Department. This task was her first true taste of the Internet, and from 1996 on she went crazy creating various websites.
Currently, Kathryn resides in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, where she works for Cox Interactive Media as a Search Engine Optimization agent. No children, no pets . . . not yet.
During her span of almost thirty years, Kathyrn wrote. She wrote silly stories as a child as Sacred Heart Elementary School, silly editorials as a journalism student at Forrest, and even sillier fan fiction stories seen throughout the internet. Amidst all the silliness, Kathyrn managed to sell her first short story when she was nineteen, and since then she has published short stories, poetry, greeting card verse and non-fiction articles to a variety of print and on-line publications and card companies. Some of these people actually paid her, too.
Kathyrn’s first two novels were co-written with other people and have yet to see the light of day, which may be a good thing. Nonetheless, the experiences have helped her in writing LITTLE FLOWERS, her first solo effort and her first published novel (Highbridge Press, May 2001). She is currently working on a mystery novel.
Among Kathyrn’s list of honors include the third place award for Jacksonville University’s AQUARIAN fiction contest for 1992 and 1993, distinction as a student judge for the 1994 GEORGE FOSTER PEABODY AWARDS, and a listing in various WHO’s WHO publications. She is a member of the Catholic Writers Association and the HTML Writers Guild. She collects elongate coins and reads mystery novels.

Keith Lively. Keith Lively has joined San Francisco based Shansby Group as a general partner to help the company build its portfolio of midsized consumer products companies.
“Mid-market companies could use support beyond the financial support that many investment companies provide,” the 46-year-old Lively said. “They can also use management support.”
Lively and his colleagues bring a wealth of management experience to the table. Lively previously worked with the firm on the turnaround of the Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie Co., which the San Francisco firm sold in 1992 for $61 million, a return of more than 20 times its original investment.
“Lively is an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur,” said J. Gary Shansby, the firm’s general managing partner and former chairman and CEO of the Shaklee Corp. Shansby said he plans to bring additional senior level executives on board in the coming months.
The firm’s portfolio of companies includes several health food companies such as Arrowhead Mills, a maker of organic grain-based products; DeBoles, a producer of natural and organic pastas; and Dana Alexander Inc., which makes a premium snack called Terra Chips.
The firm’s other portfolio companies include the Free-Style Group Inc., an importer of sports watches; Kasper Inc., a maker of personal care products; and Medtech Products Inc., which produces 11 over-the-counter products that were acquired from American Home Products Corp.
Lively credited the Famous Amos turnaround to successfully sharpening the cookie company’s focus. He no doubt understands the importance of focus, having spent the past five years in the driver’s seat of a race car. Lose your focus on the race track and it li
