Lynn and her family have been close friends of my family for many years.

While I was greatly saddened to hear of her recent passing, my overall feeling is one of immense gratitude. Lynn was a wonderful supporter of our work at Creative Connections since our founding over 30 years ago. Her generous underwriting support of our ArtLink programs allowed tens of thousands of children here and in Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin American to share their culture, values, and environmental concerns with one another though art and live videoconferencing.

Lynn’s consul and advice for improving our programming was, in a word, invaluable. 

In thinking back, what I most loved about her was the way she always took such a keen personal interest in our programs. She never just made a gift. Lynn attended almost all our international children’s events and art shows.  And I’ll never forget the time she took part in a videoconference between local students and their peers in the Guatemalan rainforest, delighting in asking both students and teachers really perceptive questions.

Everyone at Creative Connections joins me in honoring Lynn’s memory. What a special friend!
