Mrs. Thornton's Self NARRATIVE

"Well actually my name came from my mother, you know my mother happened to like the name because of a popular song like every other mother at the age. I think in 1950, when I was born there were a zillion Linda's. For example in one class in school there were seven girls and five us had Linda as our name.  Which was really unnecessary [referring to there being too many Linda's] so I am not devoted to the name but that’s where it came from."
