A 46-year-old Department of Home Affairs official is expected to appear in the Lindley Magistrates' Court on Monday for alleged corruption.
He was arrested on Friday by the Bethlehem-based Serious Corruption Investigation detectives.
The suspect is alleged to have facilitated fraudulent identity documents for foreign nationals at a fee of R10 000.
Bangladeshi Saddam Hussein (22) was arrested for aiding and abetting another foreign national to obtain a South African identity document.
who was sentenced to three years imprisonment by the Kroonstad Magistrates' Court on 24 June 2024 for a separate fraud case relating to identity documents
will be back in the Lindley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
It is expected that he will appear alongside the Home Affairs official on what will be the latter's second appearance.
Free State Head of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (Hawks)
has applauded the detectives for their relentless efforts to root out corruption involving fraudulent identity documents.
"We are coming after all officials involved in this scheme
Having undocumented immigrants has negative economic and security implications for the country and is thus a serious crime," Bokaba said

Fluent on guitar and any number of stringed instruments
David Lindley shaped the sound of California's classic-rock era
David Lindley was the epitome of a musician’s musician
not only for his comprehensive skills but also for his infectious personality
Lindley was best known as the ultimate sidekick
with crazy credits ranging from Linda Ronstadt
Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton to John Hiatt
His melodic lap steel and signature searing tone totally transformed Browne’s sound in the ’70s
so much that Lindley was practically a second lead voice in his band
“Running on Empty” and “Stay” wouldn’t likely be the classic rock staples they’ve become without Lindley’s presence
(That’s him singing the impossibly high falsetto chorus on the latter track from the Running on Empty album.)
who died of complications from Long COVID on March 3
founded his pioneering world-fusion band El Rayo-X in 1981
and secured Browne to produce their eponymous first album that same year
respectable commercial success and opened new avenues for Lindley
he brought melodic slide playing to music lovers around the globe
As a musician Lindley embraced playing second fiddle
He could play practically anything with strings from anywhere in the world
and he was a master of folk music vernacular
His virtuosity made him the perfect foil for the likes of Ry Cooder
Leo Kottke and Henry Kaiser as well as drummer/percussionist Wally Ingram
with whom he toured and recorded extensively
Lindley was highly inspirational to some of the planet’s premier players
He lived near the fabled Folk Music Center in Claremont
the music store and museum founded by Charles and Dorothy Chase and later run by their daughter
Lindley's playing there provoked Ellen's son
to take up the Weissenborn Hawaiian lap slide
Harper eventually went electric and bought one of Lindley’s coveted Dumble amps
The Overdrive Special he always has onstage might be the exact one that Lindley used on his signature El Rayo-X recording
“Mercury Blues,” considered by many to be the wickedest slide tone ever put to tape
Sonny Landreth had his tonal epiphany after hearing Lindley as well
He and Harper get about as close to the Lindley tone as anyone
Guitar Player Presents teamed up with Ingram and cosmic blues guru Papa Mali this past May during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at the club Chickie Wah Wah to help promote a Lindley tribute that’s become an annual theme at Papa Mali’s Birthday Bash
A parade of Lindley lovers brought his diverse catalog to life
and the next day the phone rang from an unlisted number
this is Ry Cooder.” The stars had aligned and would eventually bring forward a host of Lindley’s friends — including Jackson Browne
Bonnie Raitt and Sonny Landreth — to share their memories with us
“I first heard of David on the day of the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Contest when I was accompanying the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band [circa 1966–’67]
having won the competition several years in a row
He would win invariably by doing something iconoclastic
such as frailing a bluegrass song on banjo and suddenly adding flamenco rasgueados
He just got around on anything with strings
His parents had a vast collection of music from around the world
When he joined Kaleidoscope [the psychedelic group Lindley co-founded in the late 1960s]
he was at the nexus of a band that was bending various traditional styles to fit into some other discipline
and at the same time writing its own songs
That was the coin of the realm: casting your own trajectory into an unknown future.”
and my timing got better as a player working alongside David’s effortlessly impeccable timing."
“I first heard David play slide on one of those battleship-grey National electric lap steels in England
He didn’t make it back to the states in time to be featured on my first record [Jackson Browne
I wound up taking Lindley on the road because it was more manageable
and everything we did together sounded compelling
and my timing got better as a player working alongside David’s effortlessly impeccable timing
and he wound up making the slide sound very much like a violin
He could do some things that the violin couldn’t
although he could do some show-stopping tricks on the violin too
he could use harmonics to make it sound like a Japanese flute
He would play whatever he was inspired to play
“I really started using his slide work on my second record [For Everyman
I’d cut the track with the rhythm section and David would play chord pads on that same National electric lap steel
And then we began the process of overdubbing his solo
[laughs] I wanted it to sound like Ry [Cooder]
but David wasn’t playing a bottleneck
We were at Sunset Sound and he was in a vocal booth
I thought it would be a good idea to put a microphone in there with him to capture the sound of the bar on the strings
but all I wound up getting was the sound of David drooling in between phrases
[laughs and makes slurping sounds while heavily inhaling]
we’d left space for the leads when we made the basic tracks
We added David once the vocal and the piano were locked in with an arrangement
A basic tracks session would only take about three hours with studio musicians
and then we’d overdub David multiple times
I would go through and pick the great passages
like the way it was onstage when it was just me and him
I comped his slide part the way I would comp a vocal
and David would play it enough times to have it well practiced by the end
who was on drums and an old friend of David’s
had played the ride out on ‘These Days’ imagining a great lead guitar
I think that end solo is put together out of two passes
The intro to ‘Redneck Friend’ was another one.”
he could go out and do the same sort of thing live
although he would never play it the same way
He didn’t learn his part and then play it repeatedly; he would only play to the conditions that existed in the moment
He was incapable of committing something to memory and simply playing it back
It just didn’t happen that way for him
The conditions had to be right for him to play what he felt
“David used to play through a Fender Bassman with Vox speakers in the cabinet
but I don’t think he’s playing a Dumble on ‘Running on Empty’; he’s playing a Bassman
and he eventually became the prominent Dumble player of that day
"Forget about the amp — he would get the sound of the instrument to speak
He would only play what each instrument sounded good doing."
“Lindley’s tone is the whole thing
Forget about the amp — he would get the sound of the instrument to speak
He could sound great going from instrument to instrument
because he would only play what each instrument sounded good doing
Going back to playing that first tour together as a duo
he was like another expressive voice in my songs
“By the third album [Late for the Sky
I got into arrangements during and after The Pretender [1977]
There were things I wanted the music to do that were not a part of our folk conversations or influences
so I’d spend hundreds of takes looking for something
but I wouldn’t know what it was until I found it
One of my favorite things from the later era is his solo on ‘That Girl Could Sing’ [Hold Out
1980] but by that point our musical relationship had changed
Our friendship was deeper than ever.”
“At a certain point David got really into reggae
‘If you’re also playing with me
it’s going to be viewed as a side project.’ In retrospect
I’m not sure that was a good decision on my part
because it meant that then I didn’t have David’s influence and his presence going forward
Although at times I would bring him in and we’d work together
it wasn’t the same as having him in my band
But I think I was right in thinking that if he didn’t say ‘El Rayo-X is who I am and what I’m doing now,’ it wouldn’t have been given as much credence as it deserved
‘You’ve got to record this guy
“What he did with El Rayo-X was astounding in terms of the way we viewed David
I’ve been working on making a film about Lindley
and until he passed he was working on it with me
It’s been put on the back burner for a few reasons
but in guitarist Danny Kortchmar’s interview for the film he summed up our feelings: Suddenly this guy that everybody thought of as the ultimate sensitive accompanist became this monster rocking lead guitarist and frontman in a band that presciently harnessed all the interest we had in reggae
which all of us loved but none of us knew how to do
but David was always the master of his own journey
“I sang on El Rayo-X and worked on some technical stuff with my engineer Greg Ladanyi
But all l really did was preside over the sessions
You need somebody on the other side of the glass
He was never a prisoner of someone else’s idea
But I am so proud of the record and having been there.”
“David was a unique player who affected and influenced so many people
and he participated in so many people’s music
So was the stuff David did with Henry Kaiser
traveling all over the world as a master American musician to connect in musical conversations with others from all these different cultures
What I’m hoping to eventually do with the film is shine a light on this: Lindley’s kind of an everyman in that he was not famous
It’s like being let in through a side door to see how this guy was so respected and so valued
and how that kind of musical life is available to anybody who wants to try to find it.”
“I always enjoyed David as a person because he seemed so warm-hearted
People demonstrate their personal quality in their music
Sometimes you meet somebody with a like-mindedness
and that’s why we used to play well together
“Aside from being a very humorous fellow
David had great dedication as an improviser
So on one hand he’d clown around and wear funny shirts
You master these tools so that you can polish these folk styles into something useful to do
so he could fit into any situation and add his color.”
“To get that kind of control when he played
more of a discipline that allowed him to make a good sound.”
“David had great hands with perfect control
to have the fluency and the control down tight
He had physical training from doing kung fu and shooting guns
‘How do you always beat the guys at target practice on the shooting range?’ He said
‘Count heartbeats and squeeze the trigger
It’s a kung fu trick.’ He was a very inventive
To get that kind of control when he played
you must have control and be able to hit notes
and it sounds weird if you don’t hit the notes
David’s good ear could hear the good note
find the center of it and play the goddamn thing
It’s very effective when you do that and shape it like a violinist
He had great technique playing with the guitar lying flat
playing bottleneck in the regular guitar posture
That tends to put you down different roads
“Then there was the fantastic rhythm when he played using his first finger as a pick
You get a certain snap on the strings that way
We’d play this folky reggae thing that he used to like to do
Nobody else could cop that groove like he could
It was his groove: Southern California reggae
And he liked to play double-stringed instruments
and he had a 12-string guitar with lipstick pickups and those LaBella black
It was teardrop shaped and was sort of colored like bacon fat
he would make that killer axe walk and talk
When he’d hit that reggae rhythm on that guitar
It would make you jump — make you want to rock
“It was always encouraging to play with him
because you knew it was going to be all right
So often you run into taste issues and hit the wall
We just seemed to hit it off and have a good time
‘Let’s just walk through the farmer’s muddy pig field and do it.’ The stage was so big that the people couldn’t see us
they figured we were roadies testing and tuning up for the main act
but he would soldier on with no complaints
It was never life-threatening with him.”
We would come up with shit like that casually in conversation
but it turned out to be the name of a Panamanian prize fighter
‘David Lindley and the El Rayo-X’ is a little exotic
the character he devised for himself: the guy with the polyester shirts
“David had such a terrible time later
and amps that are capable of rearranging your molecular structure
It’s too bad he suffered because of that
“Looking back on the past 40-plus years
I can’t imagine the ride without David Lindley at the wheel
I was mostly playing acoustic and had techniques and concepts of my own
but I didn’t have a clue about tone and developing my own sound on the electric
I discovered David on Jackson Browne’s great albums For Everyman and most especially Late for the Sky
yet his phrasing was so nuanced and lyrical that it echoed the poetic sensibilities of Jackson’s profound songs
That combination of songwriting art and tasteful
I felt like I’d been pointed in the direction I was meant to take
“Five years later I got to hear them together on the Running on Empty tour at the Jackson, Mississippi, Coliseum, and then I heard David with El Rayo-X at a small club in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1988. Of course, he sounded amazing, and that fired me up. Of all my slide guitar heroes
Ry Cooder and David Lindley have touched me the most
David became a mentor with conversations that were equal parts information
“We met over breakfast at the Winnipeg Folk Festival hotel in 1988 and would connect off and on over the years via phone or find each other at workshops and gigs we played together
they’re too complicated and too expensive.’ His other guitar player at the time
‘You want this amp.’ So I called Jim Demeter and we became fast friends
I got one of his amps and I’ve used one or more of the three I own on at least 80 percent of everything I’ve done in the studio since.”
“The beautiful thing about David was how he shared his gift and sense of humor both onstage and off
I recall a press conference at the Singer-Songwriter Festival in Frutigen
lit the whole affair up as soon as he walked in
Wally joined Steve Earle and me at a table facing the group of reporters and journalists who were now all abuzz
David patiently answered their questions about the music biz
where do you shop for clothes?’ Though laughter broke out in the tent
David was unfazed and without hesitation began to seriously name his favorite stores in California
Some of the journalists were actually writing the information down
I’ve always wondered if his list sparked a few overseas shopping missions for polyester suits.”
“I became friends with Jackson Browne in 1970 or ’71 when I first opened for him
and then at some point I met David when he started playing with Jackson
I was very excited to open Jackson’s national tour in 1974
We developed a close friendship that would last a lifetime.”
“David’s reputation preceded him in musician circles
so I was familiar with his virtuosity on the fiddle and his sensitivity in terms of playing perfectly on Jackson’s tunes
I can’t even imagine most of Jackson’s songs that David’s on without his contributions
Playing lap steel was just one of the great things he did
tone and approach to augmenting whatever the singer and the song needed was perfect
He set the standard for me of what great accompaniment could be
long before he went off on his own and had one of my favorite bands of all time
He was delightful and a perfect foil for Jackson
His personality came across in his playing and his stage presence
“I was knocked out at his lap-steel playing
It’s a completely different instrument
but it can do so much similarly to slide guitar
especially when you’re looking at Ry Cooder and Lowell George and David
They set the tone for me on how slide guitar can fit within a song that’s not just in a blues idiom
“David’s tone is the perfect blend of grit and richness
but I didn’t really go to him for that
It was more about his taste and his lyricism
how he played them and which octave — all of that was a great influence on me.”
“Because we were both touring non-stop in different bands
When we would interact over subsequent decades
he knew how much I loved his sense of humor
I also loved the fact that he just couldn’t care less about the record business
He was like Ry Cooder in that they would deliberately avoid trying to be commercial in any sense
So you win your stripes and your friendship by the respect you have for each other
and we shared great love and affection as friends.”
“We eventually toured together again
We joined forces for almost two months across the country outdoors in a kind of a supergroup
which we lovingly referred to as the Sensitive Ones
because people would always make comments about Jackson’s music being so sensitive
and then we would all do four or five solo songs
“That tour is one of the high points of my 54 years on the road
partly because I got to hear David and Wally slay the audience every night
“We had one memorable time when we all went through his legendary polyester wardrobe
I don’t think we did the gig in that — my memory of it is hazy — but I loved his satirical splendor and his quirkiness
“Nobody delighted all of us as much as David
To be that much of a genius as a multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter and a performer
and then have that incredibly engaging personality — I’ve never met anybody like him
And I have to say that El Rayo-X is one of the greatest configurations of musicians and material and groove
the guy had a groove that was just unbeatable
He was literally one of the funkiest human beings I’ve ever heard in my life
And his voice — [laughs] — I’m so happy to be able to talk about it because it makes him feel alive for me again
Thank you very much for honoring his memory
David is beloved by so many fans and musicians and will always be
I’m so glad that Guitar Player is doing this tribute
I’m happy to celebrate my pal.”

Doug Lindley is one of a dying breed of pilots
Lindley spots what appears to be a disturbance in the water
Sitting some 800 feet overhead in his 1968 Piper PA-18 SuperCub single-propeller plane known as 44 Zulu
Lindley is looking at what could be a whale
the wake from a school of coveted bluefin tuna
“There’s probably six of us left,” Lindley said about harpoon tuna fishing spotter pilots
“There usedto be 30 or 40 of us when it was really worthwhile
It’s become kind of a lost art.”
Harpoon tuna fishing works when everything goes right
The bluefin season only lasts a matter of weeks in the summer
so anyone involved needs to make the most of it
With the legal limit set at five fish per day
captains best be sure they catch enough to afford the immense cost of a boat
repairs and fuel to take them into the channels where bluefin hunt for food
With so much on the line—and with bluefins that fetch prices upward of $10,000—most captains hire spotters
“The plane is an extension of the boat,” said Macallister
captain of the Cynthia C.2 harpooning vessel that partners with Lindley
“You have an 800-foot tower that can move at70 knots and cover the ocean
Doug can see the fish deeper in the water column than I can
he can hold them and keep an eye on them until they come back up.”
His father was a World War II fighter pilot in the South Pacific
He was a professional sportfishing boat captain for 30 years
he realized he was more interested in a bird’s-eye view of the ocean than the view from the captain’s seat
one of Lindley’s friends teased the idea of going out for a pilot’s license
even when it meant six-plus hours looking for signs of fish
“You’re looking for birds and whales and big schools of bait
and the tuna fish you can see on the surface,” he said
From the plane on a calm day you can see them from miles away if it’s a big school
when they’re upsetting the water like that."
and for the most part we’re all good friends and help each other out,” he said
“We’ll travel out together in case someone gets in trouble.”
The Discovery Channel was looking for a follow-up to Deadliest Catch
its 20-season Alaskan crab fishing series that became so popular it even survived the collapse of the crab population in the waters where it was filmed
Discovery also happens to be vying for an audience during a proliferation of dating shows that pit strangers against each other
The first episode of Harpoon Hunters landed 670,000 viewers
outpacing Discovery’s goal of 500,000.With that kind of audience
Lindley hopes the show will give viewers insight into the abundance of bluefin tuna in the Atlantic
something that has not always been the case
He has seen the rise and fall—and now the resurgence—of bluefin tuna numbers first-hand
bluefin populations in the Atlantic and Pacific have dwindled severely due to overfishing
though regulations like the five-fish per day limit have been put in place with the intention of preserving the fishery
“I got to see the heyday and I saw the decline,” he said
“Everybody cried about the regulations
but it’s one of the few fisheries where the regulations have worked the way they wanted it to."
Lindley has also seen the cost of doing business rise as the fishery has waned
If he doesn’t make $600 per day—the cost of flying his plane around Nantucket and the Cape—he said it’s not worth it
While his crews have had $20,000days in the past
Lindley has also gone as long as 17 days without a catch
leaving him counting on a few incredible days to recoup his losses
“It used to be that you could walk on them,” he said
but then the Japanese market developed and it became a delicacy over there
There was a lot of money in it and they were overfished
In recent years with the regulations and putting limitations on them and so on

ABOUT US
SIMON LINDLEY was a musician of formidable intellect
He set an unforgettable example to all who were privileged to have been associated with him

Simon Geoffrey Lindley was the son of the Revd Geoffrey Lindley and his wife
His maternal grandfather was the distinguished Belgian poet and art critic Professor Emile Cammaerts
was a friend and colleague of Sir Edward Elgar
who sang the role of the angel in the première of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius at the 1900 Birmingham Festival
Lindley spent his formative years in Oxford
where his father was Vicar of St Margaret’s
Lindley was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists in July 1968
and continued his studies at the Royal College of Music that year

he was organist of several London churches
including St Anne and St Agnes and St Olave
was organ tutor at the Royal School of Church Music
and accompanied the choir of Westmister Cathedral
he became Peter Hurford’s first full-time permanent assistant at St Albans Cathedral
He was Director of Music at St Albans School
he succeeded Donald Hunt as Organist of Leeds Parish Church (now Leeds Minster)
whose resources he came to use with much imagination and skill
He expected and obtained the highest standards
His approach also found favour with larger ensembles including Leeds College of Music Choral Society
No less impressive was his stewardship of the St Peter’s Singers

Lindley made his recording debut accompanying the choir of Holy Trinity
Other recordings range across tchoral and solo organ — including Handel organ concertos and Khachaturian’s Organ Symphony
and some CDs with cornet virtuoso Philip McCann in the series “The World’s Most Beautiful Melodies”
Lindley’s feel for the liturgy allowed him to write well for voices
the beguiling “Ave Maria” and his setting of words from Psalms 108 and 109
Occupying a far more challenging canvas is the first of his many carols
Composed for unaccompanied SATB with divisions
it remains a most inspirational evocation of seasonal splendour
As a director of the English Hymnal Company
he was one of the musical editors of the 2006 volume
Lindley contributes a stirring last-verse setting of T
alongside his popular arrangement of “Noël Nouvelet” are two new tunes
St Sepulchre-without-Newgate; an examiner for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music; and adviser to Yorkshire Television’s Religious and Educational Programme Department

we lost one of the foremost church musicians of a generation
to an Anglican clergyman and a mother of Belgian heritage
Lindley was educated at Magdalen College School
He held organist's positions at various London churches before becoming the first full-time assistant to Peter Hurford at St Albans Cathedral in 1970
where he was also director of music at St Albans School
he performed Elgar’s Organ Sonata at the BBC Proms
in a concert alongside the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Sir Adrian Boult
Lindley will be best remembered for his long and accomplished tenure as organist and master of music at Leeds Parish Church (now Leeds Minster) from 1975 to 2016
and as Leeds City Organist from 1976 to 2017
He inherited an established tradition at the Parish Church
and it is a tribute to Lindley's indefatigable character that the tradition of daily Evensongs continued there into the 21st century
the choir appearing regularly on broadcasts
Regular commissions were also a feature of his tenure including new works by Herbert Sumsion
cathedral and other professional positions
were nurtured and learnt their trade from Lindley through his skill and encyclopaedic knowledge
One cannot go far within the musical circles of Yorkshire without mention of Lindley’s name
he once described himself as a ‘general practitioner in music’
manifest by the number of appointments he held over many years: senior lecturer in music at Leeds Polytechnic (now Leeds Beckett University); director of Sheffield Bach Choir
St Peter’s Singers and Overgate Hospice Choir; chorus master of Halifax Choral Society and Leeds Philharmonic Society
President of the Royal College of Organists between 2000 and 2003 and of the Incorporated Association of Organists from 2003 to 2005
Lindley was also secretary of the Church Music Society and a compiler of New English Praise
His lyrical and well-loved setting of the Ave Maria is a staple of almost every church choir and has been sung all over the world
combining his passion for masonry and music as grand organist to the Grand United Lodge of England between 2010 and 2012
I shall be forever grateful to him for his overwhelming generosity to me when I was growing up as a young organist in West Yorkshire
and latterly as his organ scholar at Leeds Parish Church
There are many anecdotes about him and his legendary character
always told with great affection by those who knew him
as shown by the large number of social media posts and other tributes which have been written in recent days

“The ability to tell Lindley’s story through this building has meant a great deal to me and our family.”
Those who knew Lindley Spaht Dodson, a pediatrician and member of the Washington and Lee University Class of 1999, describe her as a source of joy, comfort and inspiration. Now, thanks to an outpouring of support from the W&L community, her memory and legacy will continue to impact generations of students through the Lindley Center for Student Wellness.
The center will serve as the new home for student health — both physical and mental — and is projected to open in the fall of 2025. The facility will be staffed with both counseling resources and health professionals to foster overall student well-being. The Lindley Center will be constructed on East Denny Circle, in a location convenient for both undergraduate and law students.
Initially, the center was to be located within the new Williams School, which is currently under construction on West Washington Street. However, after further review of students’ needs, the university decided the project warranted a standalone building. The Spaht family expanded its lead gift to $4 million to support the new design. Since that time, extended members of both sides of the Spaht and Dodson families have contributed significant gifts to the project.
Lindley was tragically killed in January 2021, while she was working at Children’s Medical Group in Austin, Texas, leaving behind her husband, Drew Dodson ’00, and three young children. For Drew, the Lindley Center project has been an important way to preserve Lindley’s memory for his children as well as family and friends.
“This is a really special project that addresses a clear need in this place that she loved,” Dodson says. “The ability to tell Lindley’s story through this building has meant a great deal to me and our family.”
Birdsall, one of Lindley’s close friends, says there was almost unanimous support among her classmates for the center as a reunion class project, not only due to the connection with their friend and classmate but because of their roles as parents.
“Most of us are at an age where we have children approaching the college search process,” Birdsall says, “and I think we’re all acutely aware of the need for this type of space on a college campus and the resources that it will house.”
Hudson Smith ’99 was a classmate and friend of Lindley and is now a partner at Thoma Bravo alongside Lindley’s brother, Holden. Smith is also one of the project’s lead donors and says once he learned of the demand on campus for mental health services and the opportunities to support a clear need among students, he was excited to contribute to such an impactful addition to campus.
“Contributing to something that is a new addition to the school is a special thing to be a part of,” Smith says. “There is a real need for this.”
Jenny Stone Wolkind, a close friend of Lindley’s and a leading donor to the Class of 1999’s class project, describes Lindley as a “bright light, one that exuded positivity and connection,” and envisions the facility as being an extension of that spirit.
“When I think about the role she played in her life as a counselor to parents of sick children,” Wolkind says, “I imagine the Lindley Center as being a place where people come to get support and counsel that hopefully is not a sterile place, but a place that has a positive energy around it. That is totally aligned with her legacy.”
Vice President for Student Affairs Sidney Evans says the center is an investment in W&L’s holistic approach to student wellness.
“Mental and physical health are related in many cases,” Evans says, “and this space will facilitate better collaboration.” Evans adds that the building’s design incorporates valuable lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic including infirmary rooms, bathroom facilities and air exchanges built to accommodate any future needs for isolation and quarantine.
Holden Spaht, Lindley’s brother and current W&L parent, says the building’s ability to meet students’ needs for mental health resources was an area of particular focus as the family considered the impact the Lindley Center could have on campus.
“Almost a quarter of students at Washington and Lee seek mental health services yearly — upwards of 3,000 counseling sessions,” Spaht said in a social media post recognizing the Lindley Center on World Mental Health Day. “I hope students feel comfortable ‘going to Lindley’ to take care of their mental health needs. Because that — going to Lindley — is exactly what so many of us did, and we’re so proud to continue to honor her legacy and memory.”
2024Photo: Hunter AbramsSave this storySaveSave this storySaveBy Willow Lindley’s own admission
she and her fiancé Eric Reeves had a “failure to launch” when it came to planning their wedding
After they got engaged in 2019—Eric hid a diamond ring in a tin of Willow’s favorite loose-leaf tea—they were immediately bombarded with questions about the when and where they were getting married
“Our friends and family had completely given up on asking us when we were planning to finally get married,” Willow says
“We’re both quite private people and neither of us loved the idea of being the center of attention.”
That all changed on Valentine’s Day in 2024
the fashion market and collaborations director at Vogue
was seated between Vogue events consultant Eaddy Kiernan Bunzel and Vogue.com editor Chloe Malle at the Thom Browne show
They wouldn’t take her evasive “one day!” as an answer
“They really lit a fire under me about getting married!” Willow says
“Eaddy then proceeded to follow up with me almost daily until I started to really think about what we were going to do.” (After all
as one of the masterminds behind the Met Gala
The idea came to Willow one April day on the ferry from Brooklyn to Manhattan
she saw the River Café—the storied Michelin-starred restaurant in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge
Eaddy had made contact with its onsite events planner
August 9—which happened to be the day before Willow and Eric’s 10-year anniversary
“It all felt like kismet after so long,” Willow says
With only four months between then and August
the wedding planning process was fast and furious
stepped in to coordinate with the River Café
The save-the-dates went out the night before the Met Gala
“I think a couple of my friends thought I was having a nervous breakdown,” she says
Then, there was the dress. “You’d think a fashion editor would know exactly what to wear to her wedding. False!” She says, laughing. Eventually, she asked British designer Emilia Wickstead if she could remake a dress that originally debuted in her Spring 2023 collection, but in white. She agreed—and even added a cape. “She had the dress ready in three weeks,” Willow says. “She’s truly a miracle worker.”
The dress required a few last-minute alterations. So Willow called Cha Cha Zutic, the beloved dressmaker and seamstress who often works on Vogue shoots. She made the final tweaks overnight. “One of my favorite pictures from the wedding is of me and Cha Cha hugging as she zipped up the dress and it fit perfectly—at 3:30 p.m. before the 5:30 pm ceremony,” Willow says.
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess
for He who has promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

sharing the original goal of her Gold Award project
the reason fighting book banning is so important to her
and what's next for her after an extraordinary year
Kate Lindley was greeted with a standing ovation as she took the stage to receive a special citation from the Freedom to Read Foundation during the Rally for the Right to Read event on the first day of ALA Annual in San Diego
It was the kind of conference reception typically reserved for beloved authors and public figures.
Lindley was already well known to the audience of librarians
“the Girl Scout from Virginia,” who garnered national attention for her Gold Award project to combat book banning in her county and then spoke out against those who sought to censor the proclamation honoring her achievement
The Freedom to Read Foundation citation is not her only honor for her work and advocacy against censorship in her community
the Virginia Library Association awarded her a Presidential Citation
the Hanover County Democrats gave her one of its college scholarships
and she was named the inaugural recipient of the Virginia Children’s Book Festival’s Readership Champion Award
which “aims to honor those who have demonstrated exceptional dedication
and impact in advancing literacy and empowering individuals through education within their community.”
The day after she spoke to the crowd at the Rally for the Right to Read
sat at the San Diego Convention Center and discussed the extraordinary previous 12 months—how it all began
Kate and Carrie were out of state on vacation but spent that evening watching the Hanover County (VA) School Board meeting online
and knowing the board would be voting on control of the schools and library materials and possible banning of books
as the board not only voted to give itself full authority over all books in school libraries and classrooms but also to immediately remove 19 titles from the schools’ libraries
While the Lindleys thought the board's actions were terrible
Kate could have decided it didn’t impact her
Walker Governor’s School for Government and International Studies
Her diploma would be issued from her local high school
but no action taken by the Hanover County School Board would impact her access to titles at school
because it affects my community,” Kate said
“Even if I [could] check books out from my school library
It is not merely the direct impact on me that is significant but also the principle of the ban—I refuse to live in a place where books about LGBTQ+ people
or about complex subject matter are demonized.”
She knew that when scouts completed a Gold Award
the county’s Board of Supervisors honored them at a meeting
reading about the project and its purpose and presenting the scout with a proclamation
She did not originally plan on doing a Gold Award project
she created a full academic schedule of college-level classes for her senior year of high school and factored in very little time for Girl Scouts
But the plan changed with that school board meeting. The Free to Read Instagram account launched the project on June 23
2023—just 10 days after she and her mother watched the meeting—saying the goal was “to counter the book bans in Hanover County by restoring access to banned books.”
Lindley created Banned Book Nooks in the area
stocking three local businesses with titles removed by the Hanover County School Board
Enough donations came in— including copies of Sold
from the oft-banned book’s author Patricia McCormick—to not only establish the nooks but fill little libraries in the area and give away titles at local events
She also put together “Talk Totes” containing 10–15 copies of a banned title with discussion questions
A network of student ambassadors distributed the totes in each of the four county high schools
And she created an app to let people know where the books were and share information about and awards won by the books removed from the libraries
She did it all behind the Free to Read banner
not wanting to make the personal connection to the outside world
“The project is what has been important from the start,” she said
“I was very scared of people having my name attached to this.”
In early local news stories about the book nooks
she said a couple of media outlets told her they couldn’t publish the story if they didn’t include her name
“The story was more important than me not being a part of it,” she said
adding that people have been super supportive
Carrie Lindley knew her daughter had reason to be concerned. “But you’ve got to do the right thing,” Carrie said
Kate Lindley added her name to the list of young people across the country who are stepping up and speaking out against censorship
where her mother monitors and screenshots comments and says “a couple of cyber bullies and some older grandmas” have nicknamed her daughter “porn princess.”
Kate doesn’t regret the project or her decision to go public
“This was a very public instance of book banning
It's very easy to see that the books have been banned
It's evident,” she said contrasting it to the soft censorship often keeping books off the shelves in other places
“It's really important to me that we stop demonizing books like this
and we examine when they are publicly banned what knowledge people are afraid of the masses who are future voters reading
It's especially important to me that teenagers know and understand the literature that people don't want them to read.”
but the town meeting part didn’t go exactly as she planned
The Board of Supervisors originally refused to publicly acknowledge her accomplishment—at first denying the honor of the public proclamations to all Gold Award earners because of her
When pressured, the supervisors issued the proclamations at an April meeting but the board voted to "amend" the summary of Lindley’s project
and it made no mention of the reason for the project
know that you have bestowed upon me the greatest honor you could
in your censorship of my Gold Award Project
You have shown the world that you are afraid to call something what it is
Members of the community spoke in support of Lindley at the meeting
When the public comment portion ended, Board of Supervisors member Michael Herzberg responded to Lindley and her supporters by saying
"If anyone wants to support an author whose message is about pornography to children
that I don’t support that request; and I also have the right to say yes
I have the right to approve the substitute request so the Girl Scout could still get recognized for her Gold Award," according to CBS News Richmond
Lindley's story gained national media attention
That spotlight that she never sought brought an increase not only in media interview requests but also book donations
Carrie said her husband joked the house might sink from all of the arriving Amazon
“But we didn't want to put the brakes on without giving it its fair shake and without allowing enough books into the house that we could then put into the community so people who can't afford to buy books would have access to these important stories.”
the people who need these books most are the ones who are having them taken away
to ban books from a community that is about to have to deal with all of these real issues
the real issues and perspectives presented in each one of the banned books,” she said of high schoolers most impacted by these bans
“It seems irresponsible to not be giving them access to material that helps them understand those issues.”
She knows first-hand how these titles can help
is something I read when I was trying to figure out my identity,” she said
“It was very important that I had access to that and was somewhat helpful [to] make me feel a little less alone.”
often feel like they are the only ones going through something
and it is important to know they are not alone and there are others who understand what they are feeling
has received and distributed more than 2,000 books
“I'm just so proud of her activism,” said Carrie
“It's been amazing watching her grow from someone who is nervous and worried to someone who's like
Your voice is smaller than all the other voices.’”
Now the family is preparing for Kate to go to college and major in computer science and public policy
She said this experience has opened her mind to the possibilities within that broad computer science field and possibly provided a focus—“Whether it [is] helping with information technology or something that has to do with freedom of information
a very pertinent issue and something that I care about very much.”
Her advice to her peers? “Don't be apathetic
These issues are as much your business as everything else
Lack of caring is the killer of any movement
To not care about the fact that books are being banned from your high school library—that's the worst thing you can do
… Even if you don't want to do speeches about it

securing $20,000 over the two year grant period
for its proposal of an alternative spring break program with nearby Lindley Academy
“Creating a future for our learners starts with having enough well-qualified
and this grant funding will bolster our efforts to generate a robust educator workforce in the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Education Dr
Mumin in the state’s official press release
“By inspiring today’s students to become tomorrow’s teachers—and by investing in hands-on learning and career exploration opportunities—we are laying the foundation to support Pennsylvania’s students for decades to come.”
The grant program aims to create immersive experiential learning opportunities for secondary and post-secondary students in learning about and working with students with disabilities to inspire the next generation of special educators
the grant was a perfect fit for the work Chestnut Hill College is already doing in the classroom
“I was thrilled when I found out about this opportunity,” Ammon
who was instrumental in helping the College secure the funds
and this grant is a fantastic way to elevate our education department and engage students in meaningful ways.”
One of these new ideas came by re-engaging an old partner
a charter school in Philadelphia which serves traditionally underserved populations that Ammon has partnered with previously for both the undergraduate and graduate education programs at the College
Ammon and her colleagues came up with the idea of ‘Spring Break in the City of Brotherly Love,’ an alternative spring break program
engaging both college and elementary school students along with teachers at the academy
with their strong commitment to educational excellence
has previously hosted alternative spring breaks,” says Ammon
“These programs have provided valuable opportunities for reflection and professional growth for participating students.”
designed to offer students a unique perspective on the teaching profession
will be open to all undergraduate students
The program seeks to address the growing need for passionate and committed educators by giving students a first-hand look at the rewards and challenges of teaching
they will be engaged in a morning meeting circle to help them learn more about Lindley
as well as the career opportunities available in a school setting with a focus on special education
Next they will spend their day in a variety of classrooms at Lindley
exploring how special education is delivered in a co-teaching model
students will have the chance to pair up with new teachers to gain insights into general special education settings
CHC students will be engaged in an end of the day debrief session
All participants will stay on Chestnut Hill College’s campus and use the school’s meal plan
flexible options will be available to allow them to participate without the need for overnight stays
Within a month of completing the spring break week
each student who participated will meet individually with special education faculty to discuss and reflect upon the experience

It might take over where his merry dinosaur decked out with colorful lights resided in their front yard over the holidays
That creature made me smile each evening when air was pushed into it and that Grinch of a dino arose to greet the neighbors
Gabe will not have to depend on air; he’ll have some real stuff to roll and shape into a figure made of snow
Dinosaur or the traditional guy with a carrot nose and chunks of coal for eyes
Not everyone feels as excited as my inner kid
But just as many people relax into some kind of holiday harmony in December
a real winter showstopper in Florida may be just the tonic for January
and lying flat on the ground to fan our arms into angel wings
Snow fell so ferociously one year when I was about Gabe’s age that the long lane leading up to our farmhouse in northwest Missouri filled completely up
We were somehow foolish enough to dig into it and make tunnels from one side of that narrow gravel road to the other
because I don’t recall a parent coming out to warn that the whole thing might tumble in on top of us
Then there was the time a school friend had a sleigh party and
due the circumstance of freezing weather and staying outdoors to race downhill on sleds and circle endless around on a frozen pond
This is an unforgettable memory because I still have two toes that are slightly numb to sensation
which I didn’t notice until it was time to come indoors
Frostbite thoughtfully numbs your fingers or toes while it’s injuring them
Moving to Florida as an adult was not a search for sunny weather
most Floridians are not part of a fraternity of the cold
That’s what the famous essayist and storyteller E.B
White (“Charlotte’s Web”) described in January of 1943 from his home outside of Ellsworth
“The members get along well together: extreme cold when it first arrives seems to generate cheerfulness and sociability
For a few hours all life’s dubious problems are dropped in favor of the clear and congenial task of keeping alive.”
White nevertheless moved to Florida to soak up our winter sun
