Lin would teach generations of students the lessons she learned through a lifetime of research and dedication. As Lin said "little by little, bit by bit, family by family, so much good can be done on so many levels."Discover Lin's Uncommon Life, and let it be an inspiration to follow your own path. Small steps, taken one at a time, can lead you somewhere truly uncommon in the end.
