It is with our deepest sorrow and sincere regret that we are informing you of the passing of our beloved friend and owner, Linda Hughes.

Linda will be greatly missed in the legal and court reporting communities.  She has been a mentor to many court reporting students and has lectured often at Community College of Allegheny County. 

Linda has participated and been a member of the Pennsylvania Court Reporters Association, National Court Reporters Association, and the NRCC Business Advisory Council, where she received in 2006 the National Leadership Award.  Linda has always been a consummate professional, along with being a Registered Professional and a Realtime Reporter for 30 years. 

We would like to thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts these past few months.  As Linda has wished, our company will continue to operate as it has in the past.  We truly thank you for your continued support in this difficult time.

The Staff of Powers, Garrison & Hughes
