John, and family, So sad to learn about Linda's passing. We met so many years ago when you worked for NCTV. Since then, when ever Linda and I met on the street or in a store, we stopped and had a quick talk, and shared a little if where are lives had gone. She was delightful, and full of life, always looking on the bright side. Linda will be remembered and missed by those who were touched by her spirit. My deepest sympathy at this most difficult time.
