Lin and I grew up together in Altavista. Our link goes back much farther. Among my mom´s papers I found the newspaper announcement of Lin´s mom, Eva, to her dad, Barney. Eva and my Mom had been friends that long. Although it´s been many years since I saw Lin, I remember her as a very cute and sweet girl. My condolences to her family.
