Mike and Diane, I just heard the sad news of Linda's death, from Roger Hurst, also a childhood friend. I knew Linda from kindergarten at Fairview, on, longer than most folks in my life, but family. She was always a strong, nice girl. I remember my first boy girl party at your house for Halloween, must have been fifth grade. Will miss her. Your friend, Erik Larson
