I worked with Rhoda for 11 years at the Holiday Inn. She was the "keeper" of the switchboard and "mother" to a lot of us and boy if you didn't answer when she paged you'd better have a good excuse! Rhoda is a huge part of the Holiday Inn days memories. - Posted by: Shelley (Hooper) Christie (Co-worker) on: Jan 22, 2013

"Rhoda speaking "! is one of the first thoughts that come to mind. That and her unique sense of humor, her laugh, and all of the wonderful items she crafted. Everything from knitted slippers that looked like running shoes to special aprons and pillows that she made ! I worked with Rhoda during all her years at Holiday Inn and she was such a kind and careing person. Rhoda.....you will be missed. - Posted by: Laurie Gordon (Former co-worker at Holiday Inn) on: Jan 19, 2013
