All the Right Moves

Back in 1974, having moved to a new town with a wedding on the horizon, Embury needed a job—fast. He saw a help-wanted ad in the local newspaper, applied and was hired as a copier technician for the Royal Typewriter Co. in Windsor, Conn. As years passed, Embury moved up steadily through the ranks at Royal, which was purchased by Japan-based Konica in the 1980s. He served as supervisor at a branch office, and then returned to corporate headquarters as a product support specialist and, later, supervisor of publications.
