Linda Anderson Westphal

I moved to Oregon in 1966 and lived in Eugene until 1982 when my ex-husband and I traveled the United States for four years. We ended up in Florence, which is on the central Oregon coast and about 60 miles west of Eugene. We purchased a real estate company here in 1989 and I am still owner/operator although now my focus is on property management (thankfully not sales). I live across the street from the ocean and am daily greatful for that. I keep busy with my business, friends and family.UPDATE: Broke my ankle 1/21/10 and still walking slowly - no cane, though. Couldn't make it to the 50th reunion because I couldn't drive that far. Much better now, still walking slowly and taking it easy.

It's only amazing to think it's been nearly 60 years!!!! How can that be - I still feel 18. I remember being on the Talisman staff and what fun that was, and being so over-joyed to finally graduate and get on with my real life. School was fun but life was better.
