My belated condolences  to the family of Linda, a wise  and caring woman  who became a  good friend after we first met in the 1960s at a UCLA summer school class . We spent a weekend browsing through bookstores in Hollywood. Linda urged me to read Simone deBeauvoir's classic, "The Second Sex," long before it was quoted by activists in the women's liberation movement of the era. Both my mother and I attended Linda's wedding in Pasadena. We reconnected years later when she was living in Folsom and I was in Manhattan. I will never forget Linda and the love she had for her daughters and extended family. RIP, dear friend.

It was a total pleasure to work with Linda. She was talented, sensitive to her subject and professional about her writing. I enjoyed sitting on her porch with her and looking at the water as we chatted. We compared notes on her four girls & my three boys. My heartfelt sympathies to them.

It was fun working with Linda at the paper. I've missed her ever since she moved away.
