Linda's biggest joy is her two adult children (both products of Cheyenne Mountain Charter Academy), their spouses and her granddaughter.  She enjoys praying and baking goodies for the Colorado Spring Police Department, walking her two Australian Shepherds, and getting together with friends and family.
