LINDA MCMANN
Linda is remembered as a kind and gentle friend. Many of us were in the Girls Gleeclub and Nonettes singing group with her at Nathan Eckstein and Roosevelt and played two pianos in concerts in the Roosevelt auditorium. Linda was a marvelous piano player transitioning through one key to the next if we needed to sing in a different key and all without music. She was an excellent student at Roosevelt and attended the University of Washington where she won a prestigious contest by Mademoiselle Magazine and was given a position as guest editor. After Linda married and had two children, she and her family moved to Amsterdam. Over the years, we heard how much she enjoyed living in Europe. Throughout her life, Linda was highly allergic to peanuts, which caused severe asthma attacks and eventually her death while living in Europe. We miss Linda, but the memories from our times at Roosevelt still bring much joy.
