I met Linn when I went to the Fortuna Library to apply for a job. She looked at my application, saw my name, Coleene Swainston Allen, and said, "That's interesting, I have a cousin named Allen Swainston." I said, "That's interesting. I have a cousin named Allen Swainston". She said, "My cousin Allen Swainston lives in Pennsylvania". I said, "My cousin Allen Swainston lives in Pennsylvania, too." She said, "is your cousin's wife named Elizabeth?" I said, "Yes she is". So we have called each other cousins from that day on. Linn hired me and I worked at the library with her for several years. She was a joy to work with. I have never met anyone more knowledgeable, and she could talk on just about any subject. Like myself, she was a voracious reader and she was a wonderful librarian. It was a joy to work with/for her. Linn was the epitome of kindness. I shall miss her. My Christmas list will be shorter by another dear friend this year.
