COOPER Lynda

COOPER Lynda

Lynda Cooper was hired as a summer intern at the Spectator in the spring of 1975. The same year a set of Olympic coins fifth series featuring aquatic sports appeared. She designed them. These were two $10 coins Paddling and Sailing and two $5 coins Diving and Swimming. She became and worked at the Spectator as a full-time graphic designer and illustrator until she left in 1982. She had married in 1978 and may have been attempting to achieve a better job/family life balance since her next effort appeared in the monthly periodical Chickadee later called chickaDEE. She illustrated or cartooned “Daisy Dreamer” from circa 1983 until 1997 at which time she appears to have been having health issues.
