I met Linda through her brother Wayne at a VFW Hamburger Night in Livingston. Wayne and I are classmates and as I found out later, Linda and my older brother Bill are classmates also. We were able to host Linda when Bill visited and we all enjoyed sharing stories of growing up in Livingston. I´m so glad I had the opportunity to meet Linda. She had grace, humor, and a great smile.
