After leaving Dover, and moving to Decatur, Illinois, where my family lived for only one year, my father was transferring to Salt Lake City, where I attended Olympus High School for my Junior and Senior years.  After graduation (a class of 700, which has never attempted to connect with all alumni for a reunion), I went on to Westminster College and majored in Education. I met my future husband, Glenn Kearns, Jr., (native northern New Mexican) during my freshman year.  We married two years later.  After graduation, we moved to Dallas, to attend Southern Methodist University, where he worked on his Master’s degree until Vietnam entered the picture.  He entered the Air Force as an officer, and we were first stationed in Denver, Colorado at Lowry, AFB. Two years later, when he was sent to Vietnam, I was six months pregnant with our first child.  I returned to Boise, Idaho, where my parents had then moved, as Dad’s career continued to advance, and in August, 1969 while Glenn was in Vietnam, I gave birth to our son, David.  When Glenn returned home we were stationed at Shepard AFB in Wichita Falls, Texas, to continue graduate school at the University of Texas.  He later became the Austin Public Library branch director, and we lived there until 1976. He then accepted a position as the assistant director of the Tempe Public Library, In Tempe, Arizona, and I the assistant teacher for a special education class at Hudson Elementary School in Tempe.  Our daughter, Devin, was born in 1978.  We remained there until July 1979, at which time Glenn sought a change in career direction and we decided to move back into the Northwest, choosing Boise, as our home.  He was records manager for Morrison Knudsen Engineering for eleven years. Glenn and I divorced in 1988, he moved to Seattle and I accepted a position with the State of Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) as an Administrative Program Assistant, first working with the Hazardous Materials Bureau, then advancing to the Surface Water Program, the Remediation Program, the Environmental Engineering Program, and then for the next ten years, the newly developed Air Quality Program, which I helped develop.  I continued on with DEQ for 22 years before retiring in 2010. Both David and Devin are graduates of Boise State University.  David is currently the Area Director for OSHA, in Boise.  He is married to Robin, who teaches elementary school, and they have a beautiful three year old son, Eli, who is the light of my life. Devin is married to a wonderful young man (Zaki) whom she met at grad school in Delaware, and who is originally from Jordan.  With advanced degrees in theatre arts, they are living in Seattle.  In addition to having their own production company, Devin also works as a program coordinator with Cancer Research and Biostatistics, Zaki is the program manager for Humanities Washington, and both are deeply involved in the Seattle arts and humanities programs. In 1991, I married Howard Linderborn, Jr., who is USAF retired, having grown up in Baltimore.  Both of us are long-time Boiseans now and wouldn’t want it any other way.   He has two children, and three grandchildren, also in the Boise area.  We are very fortunate to have our family here, or a brief one-hour flight away (Seattle).  My younger brother, Dave Mueller, and my nephew Andy, live in Boise and my niece Sarah is a psychologist in Portland.  He graduated from high school and college here, and is an influential member of the Idaho medical education community.  Our dad passed away in 2004, but our mother is here with us and doing well.  We’re blessed.
