Linda Thompson Quotations

I never felt more loved than when I was with Elvis.

Why did I break up with Elvis? It was difficult to watch his slow demise.

Management has cut staff, brought in temp workers and slashed our wages and benefits, ... We deal with extremely sick people in need of the cleanest, most sterile environment and food made to their exact nutritional needs. This is a not a fast-food type of setting. When you work in a hospital, it requires a special skill set -- we need to know our jobs or else the patients will suffer.

Those are things that citizens and people that are getting proactive in their communities are addressing. Getting the word out there is important.
