Linda Frate Herder

Work History (cont'd.) -

Was a Newspaper Buyer for an advertising agency, Cash Analyst for a large corporation, owned a temporary placement service for 7 years until I was threatened a couple of times by one of the myriad of different personalities registered with me, and was in charge of Commercial accounts for a large salt company and supervised winter temporary help. I was fortunate enough to write and edit the plant newsletter which afforded me several opportunities to go down into the mine and take pictures! I would NEVER work down there...too claustrophobic. My husband worked down there for more than 25 years.

In my retirement I am a Freelance Writer and survey/focus group, etc. participant.

I enjoy writing (I have written almost 1,000 reviews and articles), reading, cooking, making new friends from around the world through social media, video games, reality shows and 60's and 70's music.

Married Susan Herder's brother in 1970.

Getting jammed with the mass of humanity (and not moving at all) on the first few days of school in the hallway near the gym ramp. We were always late for class the first couple of days.

Running to my locker to get my books and then running to my next class. Heaven help you if you had to use the restroom...No time!

The "loser" prom night extravaganza at the entertainment center (can't remember the name)...We bowled, played putt putt, danced, etc. Actually we had a lot of fun!
