Dr. Ron Knight is a 1966 graduate of Linden Kildare High school.  He one of a growing number of Charter Members that share wonderful memories of their childhoods growing up in Linden,  Ron recently commented that…

Linden holds many wonderful memories for my family, and for me personally.  Better I should say, the people of Linden helped to form those memories for me.  Growing up here was an adventure every day.  Taking off on my bicycle to places all over town without any fear for my safety is unfortunately a lifetime of childhood memories that many kids today will never experience.  Childhood friends remain people that I know that I could call on for anything that life brings me now. I am happy to help in such a small way to be a part of saving our heritage.
