About
Although I am listed as "Linda" Williamson, I prefer my nickname, "Susie." I have been happily married for 39 years and have four adult children; three sons and one daughter; two daughters-in-law, and some preschool aged grandchildren (So much fun)! I enjoy movies, live theater, Disneyland, zip-lining, exploring, playing games, family and friends. I do not currently have any hobbies because I'm working on my doctoral dissertation!! I guess that means learning is my hobby and psychology is my passion!
