I’m a very lucky fellow to have met Linda. She is an incredibly sincere, compassionate and thoughtful person, and a true optimist. She loves to laugh and have fun—she’s got a lust for life like nobody I know, and I’m excited to see her pass that joy onto our child. She’s a great cook, an avid reader, loves music, traveling and the outdoors, and has an uncanny ability to remember song lyrics after just one listen! Linda is an energetic organizer who loves throwing dinner parties and planning all kinds of fun times, from group hikes with friends to family vacations in South America. One of her favorite things is bringing people together. I especially admire her resourcefulness in tackling any problem. She adores her job working with young people and is devoted to a career helping others, and brings the same devotion to her family. I know she’s going to be a terrific, dedicated, loving mother.
