I'm not too hard to find. Try www.linniefrank.com; I am a wife (19 years), mother (kids 17 & 9), freelance writer, author, & speaker. Currently, I'm a Regional Field Organizer for the Barack Obama campaign in the Inland Empire section of California.
At the time of the award I had served as President of the DC Chapter. I returned to my native California in 1987, met my future husband (at a BFPA meeting), and we have lived in Corona, CA for 19 years. These days I go as: Linnie Frank Bailey and I am still very active with community work!
Linnie - Thank you very much for sharing your update with us! I'm hopeful that the others who earned the highest individual honor bestowed by BDPA will also share their updates with us over time.
It must be exciting to be watching history in the making as an active participant in the 2008 presidential campaign of Barack Obama. I blog about him regularly in the Electronic Village.
Do you have any digital photos of BDPA from back in the day that you can share with us?
Any other Member of the Year award winners still around?
