Description
  • The Eugene Lesbian Oral History Project collection consists of interviews of 83 people for the Eugene Lesbian Oral History Project, conducted by Professor Judith Raiskin and Curator Linda Long at the University of Oregon starting in the summer of 2018.
Abstract
  • Linda was born in 1950 in Oregon. Her family was from the Appalachia area of North Carolina. Her father’s family were tobacco farmers, and her mother’s family were coal miners. Linda grew up in Oregon and went to school in Milwaukie. At twelve years of age, she realized she was attracted to girls, but had no way to understand her feelings. She went to the University of Oregon as a freshman in 1968, during the Vietnam War protests and she remembers when a bomb went off in Prince Lucien Campbell Hall on campus. As a junior in college, she got involved with women. It was a vibrant and empowering time. She discusses the LGBTQ social life in Eugene. She talks about harassment and assault. After college, she worked for the City of Eugene and as a carpenter for Crescent Construction, a local collective owned by women. She discusses Amazon Kung Fu, martial arts, and women’s self-defense. In 1977, Linda participated in an all-women mountaineering trek to Mt. Everest, sponsored by Ms. magazine. She also describes taking a trip to Russia on a peace program with Janet Anderson. Linda later became an athletic trainer and worked for thirty years at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon. There, she worked for twenty-five years as the Head Athletic Trainer and for five years as a Professor in the Athletic Training Master’s program. She also served as the athletic trainer for the wheelchair basketball team, Shooting Stars. In 1994 she adopted her daughter.
