Who is Linda Taylor?

     I don’t know that I have introduced Linda Taylor to my readers. I have known Linda for nearly forty years. Howard Ray and I graduated from the same high school with Linda, and she was the best student with the highest GPA. She was chosen to give the graduation speech, but on the night of graduation, Linda was noticeably missing. Since then, I haven’t known what she was doing or where she was.
     Linda had been hired by the CIA, trained as a photographer, and her work has not been overlooked. She was there when the Vietnamese Buddhist priest set himself on fire, and she shot photographs of those who were unable to board helicopters out of Viet Nam. She continued her service in the CIA until she witnessed prisoners being tortured in the cells of Guantanamo. She quit the “Company” in 2007 and has lived a peaceful retirement with her husband in CrowMac Creek. Linda gave up all of the equipment she had been using and purchased a Nikon D3200. Since then Linda has been shooting flowers, butterflies and birds, and has developed a following of people who appreciate her art.
     Last month, Howard found that Linda had moved to CrowMac Creek and invited her to work as head of Photography. Since then, she has accompanied me on my excursions, and has added quality and dimension to our articles.
