Tim: I did contract safety training for Rhodes State College and worked for Sondra at Midbus. Later on I did training at Dana and when the full time long term employee dropped the ball, Sondra in her short stint there stepped up and bailed us out big time. Classy lady all the way. Really made it easy to work for/with her. So very sorry for your loss.
