Linda Hannibal Cleveland
Class of 1960

My “many lives” have taken me far and wide from the halls of AHS.

During the crazy 60’s, I worked as a Playboy Bunny, a “Go-Go dancer”, and for five years, a ticket agent for American Airlines in NYC. I married and we had a daughter and a son—during which time I owned a small clothing boutique in New York. In early 1980’s, my husband died, and the children and I relocated back to the area, settling in Dallas. I worked for the next 12 years for stock brokers, eventually becoming licensed.
In 1993, I met my now husband, Earl, a nuclear engineer working with the Super Collider government science project in Texas. In 1995, we relocated to San Diego—he working for General Atomics, and me with Merrill Lynch. Earl’s work took us to Belgium, where we lived for about six years. While there, we enjoyed lots of cultural events—visiting nearby cities: Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, and Florence, just to name a few.
Now, I am retired from the 9-5 work and manage our financial investments from home. In the summer of 2007, we bought a home in the metro west suburbs of Boston. Earl is VP of a new start-up company that is creating a proton beam therapy system for treating cancer. We enjoy visits from our grown children: my daughter in San Francisco, and my son & wife and our three beautiful grand daughters in Connecticut. Earl’s daughter & husband visits from Toronto.
