I would put more credence in this woman's word than any of the accusers- especially the ones who are accusing from the shadows.
In 1983, Eva Vachal, then 24 years old, was hired by Godfather’s Pizza. She began in the information (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/283838/cain-and-women-robert-costa#)-technology department. By 1986, when Herman Cain became president of the company, she was the corporate receptionist.
For the next decade — Cain’s entire tenure at the Omaha-based firm — she continued in that position, answering phones and assisting executives with various projects (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/283838/cain-and-women-robert-costa#).
Vachal worked closely with Cain. They became friends. When he was profiled by Ebony magazine in April 1988, she was featured in the spread, chatting with Cain from her desk. She was close with other young women in the office, especially the assistants to Cain and the rest of the Godfather’s brass. They frequently huddled over lunch and coffee, discussing, among other things, their bosses, including the company’s gregarious chief executive.
And never once, she says, did a woman raise an eyebrow about Cain’s conduct. In fact, in an interview (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/283838/cain-and-women-robert-costa#) with National Review Online, Vachal says that during her entire career at Godfather’s Pizza, she never heard about any improper conduct, harassment, or inappropriate behavior by Cain, even in the form of water-cooler gossip. “Believe me, receptionists know everything,” she says. “They see everything.”
...
“Women, especially then, had a lot to deal with in corporate (http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/283838/cain-and-women-robert-costa?pg=2#) America,” she says. “I knew of other things that went on, but there was never anything with him.” “He was a true gentleman, always.”
