ABOUT THE AUTHOR— LYNDA PHILLIPPE

I’ve lived in McMinnville since 1987. I raised my kids here—now they’re off to Phoenix and Pittsburgh, but the Mac roots run deep. I graduated from Linfield in 2002, and had a flower business for many years.

I’ve been active in the community for decades, volunteering for CASA, Hospice, the MDA, The Arts Alliance of Yamhill County, and I’m the OG of Arts Alive!, a McMinnville Community Media production since 1997. Still part of the UFO Festival and Santa Claus parades.

My travel industry volunteer work includes 11 years with ASTA, the American Society of Travel Advisors. We advocate locally and nationally not only for travel advisors, but also YOU, the traveling public.

“Travel leaves you speechless and then turns you into storyteller.”
