What's so great about working at ACE?

I've worked here full time, year round since April 1, 1989, a day I'll never forget. I had a perfectly good job in Bristol, Tenn., when one of the original partners, Jack Tolliver, approached me about quitting my job and moving to West Virginia to work for ACE. I'd have to take a significant pay cut, but he clinched the deal by promising to build me a house at ACE.

The previous summer my husband, Jack Lund, had guided in West Virginia while I worked in Bristol. We'd "commuted" to see each other whenever we had a chance, but thought it was time to both work in the same place. My first day of official employment arrived, so I showed up for work, asked what I was supposed to do and nobody had a clue. I improvised, found myself a desk and started to analyze what I could do to be a productive employee.
