THREE NAMED TO NEW BUSINESS HALL OF FAME

G. Frank Clement, chairman emeritus of Shenandoah Life Insurance Co., the late Junius Blair Fishburn and Robert Hall Smith will be the first three inductees in the newly formed Roanoke Valley Business Hall of Fame.

They will be formally installed at a black-tie dinner on May 15. Tickets for the event cost $100, but Junior Achievement of the Roanoke Valley, which created the Hall of Fame, does not expect proceeds from the event.

Fishburn was president of the Roanoke Times and the Roanoke World-News and chairman of First National Exchange Bank in the 1920s. Smith was president of the Norfolk and Western Railway from 1946 to 1958.

The three were chosen for their contributions to Roanoke and Southwest Virginia and their vision and belief in the American free enterprise system, said Southwest Virginia Junior Achievement President Laurie E. McMahon. - Staff report
