11/2010 from Nancy Towle's journal of the African trip Linda was only in Kodai for ½ her junior year, and her senior year. She was born in Nevada (Basic Town Site #1), now Henderson. Linda’s Dad built the hospital there. She went back to Grand Rapids until the junior year of high school. Then when her Dad was to build the hospital in Bahrain, she came to Kodai. Later she worked for British American Petroleum Co, where she met her husband, a captain in the British navy. They were married in 1961 and moved to Grand Rapids. By April her husband was managing Lincoln Mercury in Michigan. Her first daughter was born in 1963, twin boys were born in 1967 and a daughter in 1969. When they divorced in 1971 her ex moved to Australia. Linda raised the children alone. Son Stephan died in 2006 of the cure for cancer (Linda’s words). God took him while he was praising God. Linda was picked by Dillan to be his mistress. Dillan is a dog with mucho personality. Linda went on a mission trip to the Ivory Coast to check on churches and look for mission possibilities. She brought rice to distribute and came back realizing how blest we all are. Linda wants to do more mission trips. Mid 2000s Linda’s parents lived in Bahrain where they were missionaries. She went to Kodai at 16 and it was a cultural shock. The first couple months were really hard but then she really enjoyed it. She lived on sauerkraut which her parents sent to her. . Linda has a daughter and twins boys as well as 6 grandchildren. Her daughter (38) is a nurse, Michael appears to be a professional student, and Stephen, who faught a battle with cancer, died recently. Linda has worked for Lacks Enterprises for 16 years.
