"Over the last several years I have appeared before the public, small and large groups of up to 200+, to discuss and receive comments on controversial issues. The issues range from the impact of nuclear operations at the FFTF {Fast Flux Test Facility} to the historical health effects of Hanford operations. At times, these meetings were extremely controversial. I have also appeared on live radio and television interviews. Your training helped me to project honesty, sincerity and integrity, and was instrumental in my ability to perform these activities successfully."

"Linda is very approachable. I sometimes laugh that behind those warm eyes is a computer assessing, compiling and ready to print out a concise report on what I want to know."
