This obituary was just sent to me by Lydia Juras Boiles, formerly from West Portal Apparently, Linda passed away July 4th. I believe she was instrumental in setting up the Growing Up Bloomsbury site. If not, at the very least she was a very active constributor. I knew her as a child and remember her as a happy, friendly person that smiled and laughed a lot. Her frequent contributions to the site made it apparent that she still cared for and enjoyed people -- both admirable traits. We will miss her.....
