Heading: Anderson's Vocational History

Text: 5 Up until the operation, Anderson had held a variety of jobs. He was an auditor from 1963 to 1965; a bookkeeper with a bank from 1965 to 1967; an audit clerk with the McDowell County tax department from 1970 to 1973. From 1973 to 1982 he worked as a corrections officer. He had to sign a waiver form to do the necessary periodic training for the job because he had passed out several times during the training (before the valve operation). After the operation and when the state prison closed, Anderson worked as a jailer for McDowell County from 1982 to 1983. He testified that the job was getting to be physically too much for him and he asked the county for another job. He then worked as a computer operator from 1983 to 1985, and as a field worker for the state in the summer of 1985. He was a librarian for five and one-half months between 1985 and 1986. After that, for four months, he was a sort of general laborer with the West Virginia State Road Commission until the job ended on June 6, 1986. Anderson testified that the job was very difficult for him to do, loading and unloading trucks. In his application for benefits, he lists the beginning date of his disability as the day after the state road job ended.
