Florence Nightingale

Social reformist Florence Nightingale - her many good deeds make for a fascinating tale. Not only a nurse was she content to be. An innovative statistician was she.

Andrea, thanks for this one. She was really something and your tribute helps reveal more of her story. I do like the first two words as being so very descriptive. They could almost get lost to the casual reader. Smiles!!!

Once again, Andrea, you encapsulate a book full of knowledge and/or wisdom in a few short lines of poetic mastery. Thanks for providing me (and others) so much more to think about. Happy Friday, Terrell
