In her report to the WTHS board on April 26, 2015 she said the following:
It took almost 700 miles and one month to deliver all the W.T. Historical papers to W.T. Libraries, but each trip was wonderful. We got to see the green wheat growing in the fields, the bright yellow flowers of rapeseed, the rolling hills, and the bottoms full of water in West Tennessee. And we did it without going on the Interstate at all.
Thank you for allowing me to do this for the W.T. Historical Society.
The WTHS thanks Linda and her husband, Richard, for their exceptional effort in this project.
