Judy Corak
Administrative Assistant
After many years as a legal secretary, serving as volunteer advocate for disabled children for the past 40 years, and working in public information, Judy was contacted by Wightman in 2012 to assist with archive research. In 2017, she was officially hired on as an administrative assistant. Her priority is researching the company archives, saving staff and clients precious time. Wightman has been in business since 1946, but records date back to the turn of the 20th century. On any day, she may research a project from a few months ago or the early 1900s. Her other duties include scanning, data entry, filing, editing, and serving as the front desk backup.

My husband surprised me with a new license plate for my "new" 2003 bright red sports car: LILOLDY. Yes, even with that, we are still married, over 50 years now.
