She recalls the day when cus-

second floor of the old bank build-

From a teller's job at the bank
Elaine moved up to head teller, was
customer service representative
and then manager of the service of-

her training in her present job to

former bosses and co-workers
Elmore Alcxandcr, who hired her
as a teller; the late Josh Hinnant

Grigg is on a first-name basis
with most all her customers. And
that's the mold she has created for
those who work with her.
"We're family,” says Grigg.
"And families stick together.”

total customer relationship and I
think we do just that,” said Grigg,
wife of Al Grigg.
She takes pride in the people
who work at First Union's Kings
Mountain office, including Juanita
Cloninger, 28 years experience;
Lois Gantt, 25 years experience;
Mary Perkins, 26 years experience;
Betty Thornburg, Susan Hart, June
Pearson, 15 years experience; Mike
Huffman, 27 years experience;
Barbara Herndon, 10 years experi-
ence; Kathy Broadway, 14 years
experience and Joyce Watson, two
years experience.
"Our employees care and they
prove it in so many ways," said
Grigg, pointing to the friendly and
courteous atmosphere and efficient
manner in which tellers greet the
customers.
Grigg warns newcomers to the
banking business that versatility is
a key requirement. Don't be afraid
to try new jobs.
Being a friendly teller interested
in the people she saw everyday
helped Grigg climb the ladder of
the business world. A teller is the
first image of the bank and the
teller can sell or break the business,
she says.
"I have all the respect in the
world for my tellers and I praise
them at every opportunity,” she
says.
Working together as a team is
another reason for the bank's suc-
cess in Kings Mountain, she says.
First Union is sound and reported
| record earnings of $485 million in
1992, a 70 percent increase from
1991. On a per common share ba-
sis, net income applicable to com-
mon stockholders increased to
$3.72 from $2.55.
She tells recent graduates that
banks are good places to work and
points out the many benefits to
young people who join those insti-
tutions at an early age and stay un-
til retirement.
Responding to questions by Guyton, Recreation
Director David Hancock said the city plans to reno-
vate and repair the restrooms at the picnic area.
Hancock said that the police department has stepped
up the policing of the area.
The Commission approved suggested lake fees
which are expected to be adopted by Council
February 23.
Approved were Keith D. Wherry's request to build
a boat slip and retaining wall; Life Enrichment
Center's request to hold the third annual benefit bass
tournament; and Eric Smith's request to hold a bare-
foot water skiing tournament with specifications of
the area of the lake to be used. Barrett agreed to work
out the details with Smith so that a traffic problem
would not be created by visitors coming to the lake
for the event.
CAMPING

violation of the policy because the campsite is in-
tended to be a "rough" campsite. "I feel for you per-
sonally but someone dropped the ball," he said.
Upon motion by Pruette, seconded by Barrett, the
board unanimously sent the issue back to Council.
Also confirming their original recommendation
were members Chuck Ballew, Evelyn Hamrick, Billy
Hawkins and Smith.
If approved by the City Council February 23, cur-
rent campsite leases will expire April 30 and the city
will require that all permanent structures be removed
by that date.
Grigg, 44, is a model for her co-
w=» workers in having a positive atti-
tude, being versatile, and loving
her customers. She gives the same
advice to young people seeking
their first jobs. First Union is look-
ing for youth as the mold for the
future. "We have great benefits and
banking is a highly respected busi-
ness," she says.
