Linda Ledermann:

Maybe I am one of the few in our class “not exactly retired” – actually too busy. I work full time as a nurse practitioner in a hospice organization. I serve as a public, elected official in Lee County, Florida, and my husband Bob Meisenheimer and I (mostly he) own and operate a McDonalds restaurant. Active involvement in St. Lukes Anglican /Episcopal Church is a vital part of our lives.

In 1991 I earned a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree from Florida Atlantic University as a nurse practitioner and I have been an RN since 1977.  Since graduating from PAHS, I have lived in Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil. I speak Spanish like a native, and function well in Portuguese. This has been more useful than I ever imagined!

I have served on the Board of Directors for the Lee Memorial Health System since 2000, as Chairman for  4 years.  We are a public system with 5 hospitals on 4 campuses.

From 1989 to 2002 I was in the U.S. Navy Reserve Nurse Corps attaining the rank of Lieutenant Commander.   

With 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren, we look forward to slowing down a bit.  Fishing, travel and bridge will be fun.  Our 24' Born Free RV can take us from Florida to Alaska again.
