			 Family and friends gathered Thursday afternoon to reminisce with 
			Blue and wish her well in this next phase of her life. Looking back 
			at her career with the school district she said, “Every day walking 
			in the halls and seeing children and wishing them a good day or 
			saying 'Good morning' was a good day.”  
			 
			She smiled and seemed quite content when asked about her future 
			plans, "For a while, probably just relaxing and trying to decide 
			what the next chapter of my life is. I’m looking forward to it.” 
			 
			  Blue mentioned that she began her working career at the age of 20 at 
			the State Bank of Lincoln. She said she worked at the downtown 
			Broadway location for 16-17 years. “That was my first set of family 
			members to work with. I was the youngest at the bank and I met some 
			wonderful friends that I am still friends with today. I left there 
			to be with my family in Mount Pulaski.”

Her family in Mount Pulaski currently would be husband, George, daughter Casie, 
and grandson Caden. Her son, Terry, lives in Memphis with his wife, Raquel, and 
two daughters, Sabrina and Brook.  
 
No doubt as Blue has already adopted the “no hurry, no worry” attitude, she will 
enjoy the extra time with family and those trips to Memphis can be taken anytime 
now.  
 
Congratulations, Linda, you’ve earned it!
