I just saw Mr Linden’s obituary today. May he Rest In Peace. I was a student who benefited from his words of wisdom. The memory that stands out above all else, is when I returned to the school as an adult volunteer and heard him talk to a young student who needed extra help. He was making sure that the student knew that just because they needed help they were not underneath anyone else, that they could learn, that they were important and had much to offer. That student, I know, is an excellent teacher today. Overhearing that conversation reminded me to be encouragement for my own students and still influences me today. Mr. Linden was passionate about lifting up those around him. Deepest condolences to his family and friends.
