Linda's 60th Birthday

My younger sister, Linda, turns 60 today.  She was born at Grace Hospital, Vancouver, on August 25, one day before my mother's birthday.  We are celebrating with dinner out tonight.

Here are a few memories of her:

Linda loved Girl Guides and worked hard to earn her "Gold Cord", a very high achievement in Girl Guides.
