Worked for the county for: 10.5 years
Resides in: Charlottesville
Job title: As deputy court clerk, Minahan specializes in recording county real estate transactions, issuing marriage certificates and wills, and documenting court judgments. Her favorite duties include swearing in new policemen, sheriffs and preachers.
Best of times: “One time while searching for someone else’s record, I found my grandparents’ marriage certificate.”
Worst of times: “It is hard when we are swamped or shorthanded. I don’t like it when I am too busy to help people even though I want to.”
Strangest moments on the job: “The attitude of some people who come in to get a marriage license is shocking. They are fighting and are very mad at each other or worse. I often wonder why they’re getting married in the first place.”
If she were a super hero she’d be: “Colin Powell. Under President Bush he wanted to look out for the common man and look out for our country.”
