Linda and I worked at the NCO club at Blytheville Air Force base (Eaker), when one night clyde drinking with his friends, got on his knees and proposed to me. Well Linda took it to the extreme, within a month she had got the minister, Sgt Dick Bratton, our boss and a police officer to give me a way in uniform, and clydes mom to have clydes dads shotgun pointed at his tail if he didnt fullfill his vow to marry me. this is one of many memories that we shared.

That was the one of the many times Lindas sense of humor won out. She had the belief in me and clyde that we were to be together forever. With many loving memories of her witt and the love she gave to us.

We would gather almost every morning for coffee at Lindas (when she lived in Gosnell, AR) and every morning we would talk, laugh, and cry over our lives. for clyde she would bake a cake. We made our days discissions that way and Doris carries on Lindas tradition.

I can remember the discussions on her next  projects  and I can remember the walls she tore down and rebuild, making improvements to better her home and fred was right beside her laughing and and I am sure he was wondering when that project would end. Fred never once in front of us ever told her he was too tired of doing it.  You saw them always working together as a team and that made clyde and myself always work side by side with no regrets in this.  She took time to sew me a set of pillow cases for my large pillows and it was so odd but it worked and clyde and phoenix showed her how large those pillow cases were.

This is the greatest effect she had on my life was always work together and laugh no matter the problem, eventually there  was a solution.
