Lin's Story
Altho I didn't graduate from LWHS with you all, I tried to get back over from E Burg as often as I could.
I can't tell you how many trips that old white Chevy Nova II made over the pass and back. I missed all of you so much ~ but didnt want to squelch my dad's excitement of owning that big ol 200 acre ranch ~ so I adapted.
I took Agriculture classes in leiu of HomeEc, drove a tractor, cut hay and loaded 100lb bales onto semi-s instead of hitting Juanita Beach with my baby oil and iodine to tan....was anxious to head to Los Angeles for airline school come Fall 69................graduated with wings and flew off to begin the most fabulous years of my life!
Somewhere during my 20 yr airline career (mainly with Alaska Airlines - Marketing), I had 3 boys; Brett (IT guru Vegas), Scott deceased and Mike (Police Sgt in NM, pilot), was a doll model from 1982-92 - Hollywood Fashion Girl (I know you saw me hanging in the grocery stores for $3.97... dumped my picture in the trash as you took the doll...Expand for more
outa the pkg). Had a greeting card line that was bought out but I did have stock standing proudly next to Hallmark cards!
Got into the aircraft parts and maintenance world in the early 90s. and here I am still in aviation with my big ol airplanes...working in a Mojave Space Port hangar (Business Development/Marketing/PR) amongst the pilot flight test school and nearby, Rutan's SpaceShip 2 and Branson's Galactic White Knight 2 getting ready for space travel.
Since I own horses , goats etc (cha ching) and have Native Sky Ranch to run, I will work my day job til I drop but that's OK......the young pilots will feel sorry for this old granny propped up in my hangar office and say "Gosh I sure hope I plan my retirement better than that old Sky Hag!!"
My life has been...like all of ours....a wild ride at times but I'll always have my history....the basics I learned from my youth and the friends who were with me during those frustrating teenage yrs .......PRICELESS.
Cheers to you ~ Lin
