Linda (Cowan) Beard
I married Robert C. Beard (Class of '57) on August 19, 1961. We were blessed with 2 great sons, Michael in 1965 and David in 1968. We have lived primarily in Bartlesville. We recently sold our oilfield business in Dewey, OK after 40 odd years. We are learning how to be "semi" retired!!

Who would I desperately like to see at our 50th Reunion: All the classmates that do not come to the reunions for whatever reason. Many I have known since grade school and I would love to visit with them and hear their stories. Everyone has a story!! We are more alike than we are different.

Life lessons I would like to pass on: Ah, there are so many!! Learning lessons from the
past, envisioning the future but living for the moment and learning that luck is sometimes a matter of being prepared for opportunity. One of my favorites is from my husband who always says, "You can't finish until you start". Goal yet to be achieved: To be tall, thin and have long naturally curly blond hair . . . . .somehow, I don't think I'm going to achieve this goal!! I very much look forward to seeing everyone at our 50th Reunion and learning about all the achievements of our classmates!! I am so proud to be part of the fabulous Col-Hi Class of 1960!!!!
