I was a painfully shy kid during my school years, and Linda was very kind to me."Hi, there, hi!" was her greeting, as I recall.  She befriended me (I can't remember how we connected, but I am glad we did); and helped me get a job at Raleigh's, a men's suits store at Landmark Shopping Center when Landmark was outdoor shopping.  Since I did not have a car, she would pick me up in her VW bus.  It was such fun to ride in that wonderful old, stick shift, riding high in the seats, vehicle!  It seems to me we imbibed in the ganja on a few occasions, too!  Does anyone remember what color her bus was?  I remember grey, with a split front windowshield.  I am sorry that you had to leave our world so soon, my dear.  I have no doubt that you are with The Creator, and you are experiencing infinite love, joy and happiness.  Hey!  I'll see you there some day.

Linda lived in our neighborhood and I can remember I had the biggest crush on her (like most of the guys on our street did).  She was so sweet and always had a smile for everyone.  I can still see her getting on the bus in the morning.  Always smiling even at that time of day.  I delivered the Washington Post in our neighborhood and in those days I had to go door to door each month to collect for delivery.  When I got to Linda's house, I had to gather my nerve to knock on the door.  I would knock and she would come to the door, say hello and holler for her Mom.  My knees always got weak.  Such great memories.  When I visit my Mom in N. Springfield I pass her house and still think of her.  I own 2 Volkswagen buses....a 7 passenger and a Westfalia camper.  I know she would approve!  :)

I remember Linda and how she had a smile for everyone.   I probably hung out with her more before high school & she dated my older brother, Mark, for a brief time.   She will always be a lovely, kind person in my mind and God knows he has an angel.   Her father helped me to get a job at his firm Ward/Hall Architects in the building that was right off the highway that the firm built.  I worked there in 1973 for about 6 months as they hired me knowing I was moving after my husband finished the Basic School in Quantico w/ the Marine Corps which was a 6 month program.  It was a great place to work and I was sorry to leave.

I don't remember Linda Ward as much as I remember her mother. Mrs. Ward was my 6th grade teacher and later my Girl Scout leader. She was one of my favorites, always kind and understanding. We had a story every day after lunch, went outside for recess even when the weather was bad and no one else went out, and could always count on Mrs. Ward to roll the piano into the classroom for afternoon music. No wonder Linda turned out so well! It sounds like Linda grew up with to be a lot like her mom.
