I was born Linda Rae Wildermuth in North Long Beach, California on May 12, 1943 at 5:00am to Evelyn and Ted, my brother Jack and my grandmother Mirtle, who I adored.

I loved school, loved to draw, loved my dolls and of course, my dog, Tuffy. As I got older, I became very active in school. I was Secretary and Vice President of the student body, honor student, President of my Sorority and I even received a scholarship to the University of California at Long Beach. My friend Linda Kobata, was my inspiration. Thank you Linda.
