Long time service

Radford City Council honored some long-dedicated city employees Monday night.

Early in the evening's council meeting, City Manager Tony Cox handed out certificates, congratulations and thanks for: Audrey Long, Greg Holbrook and Gail Sojka, all for 15 years of service; Jeffrey Nester and Randy Hopkins for 20 years and Nancy Collins for 25 years.

Deno Tuck, David Young and Ken Goodyear were honored for working for the city for 30 years.

Thirty years ago, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. Saturday Night Fever was the album of the year. Mother Theresa got the Nobel Peace Prize. Miss Virginia, Kylene Baker, became Miss America.  And the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl.
