I’ve known Linda since high school days when we would double date with my current girlfriend and her boyfriend of the time. After I married my current wife of 65 years (Linda Marie) she had married; we had family get togethers occasionally and I maintained a deep respect for her and her talent. We eventually became colleagues at OSU and maintained contact as friends, colleagues, and because of her position as county commissioner, and my family farm connection in Benton County. My wife and I last saw her at the nursing home where she was staying and she still recognized me. I will miss her.
