Linda Peck, Administrative Assistant Linda Peck was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia in the mid 1950's.  She lived with her mother, Phyllis, and younger sister on her grandparents farm near Belleville until she was 3 years old, at which time her father, Therman Hughes, finished  his army duty.  From the farm the Hughes family moved to Columbus, Ohio, where two more siblings were born.  But summers were spent with her grandparents on the farm, hiking and exploring the woods, fishing, picking berries and helping with the gardening. She left Columbus at age 18 and by 21 moved to San Diego.  An avid gardener, Linda went to Mesa Community College for a few years taking botany and landscape design and dabbled with nature photography. Linda moved to Santee in 1987, started a family and was a stay-at-home-mom with her 2 children.  It was just what she wanted to do but once the kids were in school, Linda needed more social interaction so she learned watercolor painting, and sold dried flower arrangements and crafts and continued taking nature shots of her “domestic wildlife.”   Along the way Linda became involved with a couple of habitat organizations, that lead to getting involved in the Santee community.  She served for 3 years on the Town Center Development Committee and currently the Library with the City of Santee.  While on the TCDC, Trolley Square was designed and the committee worked on the negotiations with the developer that ultimately built the mall. And all this led Linda to Summit’s door where she has been for the last 5 years.
