Linda's Story
After high school, I worked at Sears Mondawmin in the Baltimore executive office as secretary to the director of advertising for four years. That was a fun job learning to write copy, radio commercials and paste ups. For over 25 years, I have worked in higher education starting with Loyola College in 1969-1973 as secretary to the Director of Undergraduate Admissions; College of Notre Dame of Maryland 1989-2004 as Assistant to the Director of Graduate Studies; and returned to Loyola University in 2005. Currently Program Assistant in the Writing Department.
I married my husband, John, in 1972. We celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary on April 2. We have two daughters, Julianne and Heidi and two grandsons. Last year we adopted a shelter puppy, Miss Dixie Belle. She is keeping us on our toes!
I pursued my undergraduate degree in Communication Arts while I was a stay at home mom. Attended the Weekend College at the College of Notre Dame taking one course a semester. After 13 long years I finally received my BA degree in 1990. Went on to earn my Masters in Liberal Studies in 1996.

ce to visit is London. John and I have been there numerous times. We were there this past March to celebrate our anniversary. The highlight of the trip for me was seeing the White Cliffs of Dover. Hoping to get back in 2016. John and I also enjoy spending time in Cape May and attending Broadway shows at the Hippodrome. I like to bake and do cake decorating. I also take adult tap lessons and look forward to the recital every year. It's good exercise and a lot of fun. My daughter, Julianne, also takes dance lessons at the same studio. . We are both involved in the Recital Week madness in June.
