06 Broadcaster Press n HEART From Page 03 he risked losing a lot. “Recovery is actually my favorite subject,” Radigan said. “Anything about recovery, I like.” With the support of the community, Radigan was able to step away from the bar, and towards Alcoholics Anonymous, an organization he is greatly appreciative of. “Vermillion has been good for my sobriety,” Radigan said. “Sobriety is hard but there is so much support here.” Radigan has since added sobriety advocate to his resume. He often gets calls from people who are seeking help and recovery. “I love AA meetings,” Radigan said. “I had to go to some lengths to be good. I enjoy talking about it and maybe helping people.” Sobriety and being so public made Radigan nervous at first, but in true Vermillion spirit, community members came together and recognized the unique position he was in. “I thought I’d really get judged, but I didn’t,” Radigan said. “I was accepted. I haven’t had a January 6, 2015 www.broadcasteronline.com drink in 14 years. I’ve made some mistakes, but I’m learning.” Since those darker days, Radigan has shifted his focus towards his family, his golf game, and his status as a business person. Now, his wife Molly mans the controls of The Pub. “Molly waits tables Monday through Friday for lunch so this is as Vermillion owned and operated as you get,” Radigan said. “We’ve been married nine years, she does a lot of the day-by-day operational things; she is the boss now.” Radigan’s eyes light up when he talks about his wife and how she stepped into a lot of roles when they married. He is in awe of her capabilities. “She’s also a full time mom at home,” Radigan said. “Which is a lot tougher than this job is. She does everything.” In 2005, the Radigans acquired the adjoining business front, formerly known as Chalky’s. Staying true to his new role as family man, Radigan named the new establishment after his daughter. “I had a two year old at the time,” Radigan said. “Her name is Maya Jane. I thought Chalky’s 1815 Miscellaneous 1815 Miscellaneous 1815 Miscellaneous was kind of a guy bar name and I wanted it to STEEL CULVERTS FOR DISH TV Reatiler - SAVE!
