Etienne,

Thanks for the information about her family. Indeed Linda Powers is the daughter of a United States Marine. In March 1943, Philip Whittemore Powers enlisted in the US Marine Corps Reserves, and subsequently trained at Parris Island, SC, where he set a range record in rifle marksmanship. After further training in electronics, Philip shipped out to Guam to serve with mop up forces in the Pacific. Thereafter, from 1944-47, he served in the occupation of China, at Tiensin (now Tianjin). He mustered out of the USMC in 1947, having progressed to the rank of Master Sergeant. Philip entered Harvard University in 1947, and graduated in 1951 with an A.B. in Economics.

Linda Powers lost her sister when Linda was seven years old. Tara Fontaine Powers died of leukemia in 1962.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the Powers Family and friends during this difficult time.

Note: I don’t see the name of her husband Bob Hemphill of Potomac, on this online condolence page.

Last tought: maybe the passing of a dear loved one was the reason for the late ASM.

Last note: I hope Linda, who lost a loved one recently, did not read some of the posts on this message board the last few weeks. Most of you know what i mean!
