EMPLOYEE PROFILE

Name: Linnette Legg

Title: Administrative Assistant to the President

Major responsibilities: Assisting President Edwards in his activities—planning and scheduling activities and special events, handling travel arrangements, creating and editing reports and correspondence and doing whatever else the president needs.

Length of service at the College: It will be two years in November.

Place of birth: Oak Ridge, Tennessee—I’m part of the generation of Oak Ridgers that glow in the dark!

Family members: My sons, Brian and Christopher, and our dog, Coco.

Something no one knows about you: I’m a Broadway musical junkie, and I’ve always wanted to play/sing in a piano bar.

Greatest achievement or proudest moment: One of my favorite achievements was being named “Best Musical Director” by the Community Theater Organization in Nashville. It was hard work, great fun, and I got a trophy. My proudest moments these days revolve around my sons. I get teary-eyed watching my son Brian when he performs with the ORHS band.

Favorite things outside work: Spending time with my sons and doing anything musical.

Most rewarding part of your job: Knowing at the end of the day/week/month that everything went as planned.

Most Influential Person in your life and why: The greatest influence was my mother, who encouraged me at all times and in all things, accepted my decisions even when she didn’t agree with them, tried to teach me not to take things too seriously and provided a shoulder to cry on when I needed one. She was always there for me, and I miss her tremendously.

Favorite quote: I don’t really have a favorite quote, but I do have a favorite bumper sticker: “What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it’s all about?”
