About the host
Hosted by Linda Harkness
Tom and Linda have been both retired for 10+ years. Tom retired twice, first time after 20 years as a special agent with the US Secret Service and the next time after 20 years as a special agent with FDA. Linda retired from BNSF Railroad. Although we spend our winters in our Arizona home, we spend most of our summers in Linden Hills. We do share our home for 2 - 3 weeks every summer with paying guests to offset our property taxes. Over the years many of the same families have returned year after year as they love Linden Hills almost as much as we do.
We have 3 children, two sons and a daughter, are all married, so we have two lovely daughter-in-laws and a great son-in-law, and we have been gifted with beautiful 4 grandchildren.

Why they chose this property
We built and designed this house ourselves to fit our families needs and after two years of planning and building the home was mostly completed in 2007. The lower level wasn't completed for a few years though.
The Association and property was originally purchased by our great grandparents and another family. Although many other families now have homes in Linden Hills, our family was one of the two founding families. We now have the 6th generation of our family building memories in Linden Hills. Our favorite place on earth!
