He majored in economics at Princeton, where he roomed with Tom Wuerth, rowed 150lb. crew, and was a member of Quadrangle Club.

Linds's professional career primarily as a CPA began with Peat, Marwick, Mitchell. Later he joined AmSouth Bank of Birmingham and concluded with Sterne, Agee & Leach. Linds was a lifelong member of St. Mary'sontheHighlands Episcopal Church, where he taught Sunday School and served several terms on the vestry. He was also on the board of St. Andrew's/Sewanee School, the successor of his 1936 alma mater. He was a keen tennis and golf player and later took up swimming on a regular basis.

Linds is survived by his wife, Louise, five children, three grandchildren, and brother Kidder Smith '35. To them all, we extend our sympathy. In a class publication Lindsay once wrote, "... put me down as a happy inquisitive man with five children and a wonderful wife." Indeed an appropriate summation of his deep family devotion and life experience.
