Subject: Remembering Linda Howard ’70
October 5, 2023
Dear ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤ community,
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Linda Howard ’70. Linda made indelible changes here at ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤, from creating the first Renn Fayre in 1968 to serving on the Alumni Board for nine years, and as a ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤ trustee for a remarkable 34 years. Her passionate dedication to ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤ and her focus on equity made her the clear choice for honoree as the first-ever Babson Society Outstanding Volunteer Award in 1987.
Linda gave generously to ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤ not only in her financial support, but also of her time, energy, and wisdom. I personally benefited from her wise counsel and conversation. Please read more about Linda’s lasting impact on ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤ here.
I am forever grateful to Linda for her contributions to ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ÕŽòè¤ and to the wider world. My deepest condolences to all who knew and loved her.
Sincerely,
Audrey
