I remember meeting Linda after I'd started working at KSL Radio years ago, and was really interested in watching how this woman would fare in the world of sportswriting. Well, she was fabulous, and a pleasure to work around. Linda was a professional from the get-go, and always treated me with great respect, even though I was just a green college kid. I've always read Linda's stories with great interest because she's always been one of my personal favorites.

Good luck Linda...more will miss you than you ever know.

Greg Marsden built Utah gymnastics but Linda Hamilton let the world know about his accomplishment. The University of Utah owes much to her and so does the sport.

I just received this article here in Dallas and hope it's not too late to respond. I first met Linda when I worked at the Salt Palace in the 80's. I've always had a great respect for Linda as a person and as a professional. Her humble way of accomplishing great things is rare in this world. She covered many great stories and interviewed some well known stars in sports, and yet she was always grateful that these superstars were willing to give her the information she needed for the story.
I've moved several times since I left Salt Lake in 1987 and have kept in touch with Linda wherever I have gone. She is a wonderful person who deserves the best, I am proud to have been associated with Linda Hamilton and wish her continued success in her new adventures in Life.

Donaldson doing an off-beat, way out there story? Nooooooooooo... she'd NEVER do that.... she'd be well to learn from Linda and be all business and get to the point.
