Linda & Robert Howard Introduction


Hello Everyone! I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s introductions as they’ve been posted – who would have figured that I have so much family out there? Thank you Wyl for taking this on and reaching out to everyone!

My name is Linda Howard and I am the second youngest of Larry and Katharina’s kids. My siblings are Barbara, Ilona, Von Emma, Larry andCathy.

I am married to Robert and we have two children, Canyon, almost 14, and Savannah, 11. Robert and I met at Texas A&M in geology class(that explains our children’s names) and eloped on the fourth anniversary of our first date. We’ve been married for 19 years. We’ve livedseveral years in both Houston and Ft. Worth and have just recently moved to Arizona. We are still getting used to the heat and the desert environment and critters, but I think we are really going to like it here.

I am a stay-at-home mom and have spent a lot of my time volunteering in my children’s activities from leading Girl Scout troops,coaching soccer, to PTA president. I am not sure there has been a volunteer job I’ve managed to say “no” to yet. My daughter,Savannah, having practically danced out of the womb, is currently in an intensive ballet program after school while Canyon,my laid back one, is well, laying back for now but will be trying out for the basketball team soon. Robert owns and runs an outdoorfurniture company that lets him still have time for family, golf and hiking with me when we can.

It’s great to hear from y’all (as we say in Texas) and I am looking forward to reading more emails from you!

Take care,

Linda Howard
