Marathon 1995 by Barbara with photo help from Nancy

Linda, Nancy, Pam and I (Barbara) decided to have a girls' weekend in summer 1995, before Tommy and I went off to Portugal. We had the usual amount of cocktails, food, and visit to Key West. As I recall, the toilet wasn't working and Linda supplied a bucket instead.
One day we decided to walk a portion of the 7 Mile Bridge. We drove to the bridge parking lot, opened the trunk and put our purses in the trunk. We had our walk, and then went shopping. AND then we discovered that we had all been robbed! Yes, it was real clever of us to telegraph to the waiting thieves that our valuables were in the trunk! I lost about $500 but both Linda and Nancy lost jewelry. We went to the police station to report our losses. They kept us waiting a long time; I guess we got rowdy because we were asked to be quiet...several times.

West Coast Family Connection by Rob and Naomi Taylor

It was not until Skip connected with his Aunt Ruth, 20 years ago, that we connected with Skip and Linda. What a delight to get to know them. We were fortunate to visit the Tiki house twice. They were hosts extraordinaire. We were wowed by Linda’s beautiful flower petal art laid upon the bed, just one of the many special touches that made us feel so welcome. Linda and Skip came to the West Coast several times for reunions with the Taylor/Mundy family. These are pictures from our August 2019 reunion on Hornby Island. We had a raucous, fun get together, how could it be otherwise with Skip and Linda and the Taylor/Mundys? After the gang left, we were looking forward to a couple of quiet days with just the two of them. Alas, it was to be only one day. A storm was brewing! They made a hasty retreat. Literally minutes notice to get off island by water taxi in order to not miss their flight home. Here they are waving goodbye! We have very fond memories of Linda, a remarkable woman.

Linda's Birthday 2021

Linda's birthday was 28 February. It was a sad day. Diane and Alan remembered that for Linda's birthday in 2020, they (Diane, Alan, Linda and Skip) drank champagne overlooking the Nile. Mary created a very special sculpture in Linda's memory. It is called "The Missing Piece". Skip is going to plant it in Linda's garden, overlooking Church Creek.
