Linda and I (Ann) had a lot of good years of laughter together in those horn sections...often at ourselves! On the days she didn't show up to rehearsals, I missed her. She had some wonderful talents that kept surprising all her friends. In our painting class I was astounded! She was humbly hiding all those artistic abilities! She was full of surprises....and giggles.
