Biography of Linda Kasten

Linda Kasten - 1st Grade Teacher

I was born in Milwaukee at the end of March a long time ago. One of my first memories is of breaking my leg when I was two. My schooling began in the public school system and transferred to north Trinity when I was in second grade. Wisconsin Lutheran High School was my next school and then I attended Dr. Martin Luther College in New Ulm.

My first Call was to Peshtigo, Wisconsin where I taught K -3. That was a fun time. We lived in the Upper Peninsula and did a lot of fishing, hiking and biking. We then moved back to the Milwaukee area so Alan could pursue his Masters' Degree in Engineering. My next Call was here to St. Paul's where I taught 8th grade and a few other subjects. I received an emergency Call to Crown of Life in Hubertus, where I taught grades 1-4. I took 13 years off to be with my children and began teaching back at St. Paul's 10 years ago. I taught in our Learning Center for 7 years and am now teaching 1st grade and coordinate the lower grade technology.

I met my husband Alan at Wisco, and we were married after we both graduated from college. Alan is a Senior Engineer with Delphi Automotive Systems. Our daughter Katie is a graduate of the US Naval Academy. Kari is attending the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

I enjoy feeding an watching birds, gardening and reading. I collect Department 56 houses. I also enjoy buying and selling on Ebay. We enjoy traveling especially Walt Disney World, Washington, D. C., and Annapolis. We have five acres of land near the Kettle Moraine Forest where we have recently built a home.

Teaching these children about our Lord and Savior is a great honor and privilege!
