John '62 and Judy (Jandrey) Hubbard '63

John '62 and Judy (Jandrey) Hubbard '63 recently revised their wills and decided to include a gift to Linfield College in their plans. When we asked them about their decision, this is what they said:

Linfield College has always held an important place in our hearts. We met there as a freshman and sophomore, began dating and became engaged at the end of two years. Our daughter and son-in-law also met at Linfield 20 years later, thus we have a very sentimental connection. More important, however, is the fact that we both got a very good education that prepared us for careers that have been most satisfying. Nearly 50 years later, we are still working, although seriously considering retirement. In the process of planning for the last segment of our lives, we have had serious discussions about the kind of legacy we want to leave after we are gone. We have worked hard to save and invest as best we could and want some of that to be used wisely to help others.

So, why did we pick Linfield in our gift planning? Since this beautiful institution helped to shape who we are, we want other students to have the same rich opportunities we were given. Because it is a small college, students have the rare gift of having a one-on-one relationship with professors. That is very important to us. The beautiful campus is a joy to visit and has an aesthetic and peaceful atmosphere that is conducive to learning. We appreciate the college's attempt to reach a diverse group of students and to offer a wide variety of programs. The feeling that we can help maintain these qualities for the future of our college is most satisfying to both of us, and it is a privilege to share.
