Linda is very busy with all of these activities but still finds time for the loves of her life, her three grandchildren, Lula, Ethan, and Jack. She has had many "previous lives" including owning and operating a KOA Kampground in Gardiner, Maine.
Linda still loves the practice of law. She maintains her equanimity and balance, even when dealing with dysfunctional family situations, because she finds people endlessly interesting, and derives great satisfaction from helping all of her clients.
