Lynn wirtes "I came to Little Rock from Omaha in 1989 after the merger of the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific Railroads. In 1990 my wife Rita was diagnosed with cancer, and in 1992 I took early retirement to take care of her. She died Easter Sunday 1994. Later that year, while doing volunteer work at a local hospital, I met Margaret, who had just moved to LR from San Antonio. She had been widowed 9 years. We hit if off immediately, and were married in June 1995." 49
