My first job out of college was director of therapeutic recreation for the city of Portsmouth. I coordinated wheelchair basketball, Special Olympics and other programs for children with special needs. There was a lot of interaction between the city and the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, and I served on several chamber committees for the city. I got to know Jim Dunn, the director of the chamber, pretty well, and he recruited me in 1981. An important part of my work at the time involved the Norfolk Naval Shipyard Association, which brought together the shipyard management, the unions and the business community.
Many young employees fail to realize the implications of what it's going to look like 40 years from now," [Gerald McLaughlin] said. "They also fail to realize the time value of money and how quickly this money will accumulate. Merely deferring the 401(k) decision, he said, is an "extraordinarily misguided approach" because it can mean a difference of hundreds of thousands of dollars if you start preparing when you're 30 versus when you are 20. McLaughlin also recommends taking a closer look at disability insurance. People tend to place more value on life insurance than disability insurance. "Far too many people opt out of that insurance," he said. "Your chances of becoming disabled at work are much greater than your chances of dying at work."

When I went off to college, I had some interest in banking as a career, but I really can't tell you why. My first job out of college was in Virginia National Bank's management training program in 1981. Between my training and my first assignment as assistant manager of the Virginia National branch at Princess Anne Plaza, I spent 18 months in Virginia Beach. Then, lo and behold, the assistant manager of the Franklin office got a promotion, and the bank sent me to Franklin. I guess my roots in Franklin made me a candidate. Later I spent three and a half years on the Peninsula with Virginia National's successor, Sovran, and was promoted to area manager before I came back to Franklin as area manager. I came back kicking and screaming. Don't get me wrong. I love Franklin. My biggest concern ...
Everyone remembers his or her first full-time job out of college. Mine was with the Richmond Braves as I was named the Public Relations Director for the 1980 season. It helped that I was a journalism major, had baseball experience and went to the University of Richmond. In fact, the two guys on staff - assistant general manager Bill McKay and field manager Allen Broaddus - were also recent UR graduates and tipped me off to the fact they were looking for a PR guy. Besides helping with field preparation, my first duty was to put together the R-Braves Program.

LOGAN Scheduling an appointment with Joanne Tomblin, president of Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College, used to mean making a call to her assistant, Emma Baisden. These days, its a little more complicated. Scheduling an appointment with Tomblin means a call to either Baisden or to Susie Fox, who now handles her appointments at the Governors Mansion.
