She has been in my care for the past two months, and while she's still under construction I'd like to dedicate this to you, as it was your request and I am giving her lovingly into your arms and I hope it does justice. 

Much Love,

Lindsey Buckingham was born to Rutheda and Morris Buckingham on October 3, 1947. He got into Stanford on a swimming scholarship and graduated in 1968 at 21 years of age. Instead of going right into the workforce he attended graduate school-also at Standford University and got his second degree in Childhood Psychology. Officially graduated in 1970. It was then that he got a job working for the FBI as a low ranking child psychologist. He assisted in cases involving children, subject to rape, kidnappings, you name it. He worked there until 1972. He ended up becoming involved with one of the FBI agents and interwork relationships were frowned upon so instead of letting Agent Diana Prince, his fiance, lose all of her hard work and credentials he left. it was then that he took it upon himself to get his Doctoral Degree and he got his degree through San Jose State, graduating in 1976. He taught at San Jose State until 1978 when Diana dropped the bomb that she was to be transferred to the FBI unit stationed in Santa Monica. He followed her willingly and started teaching tenured at USC, the University of Southern California. 

In 1982, Diana and Lindsey found out that even though they weren't married, but still working on it, they would still be welcoming a sweet little baby. Postponing their marriage for at least another year.  Clara Jean Buckingham was born on April 18, 1983, and sadly at the end of Diana's first day back at work after Maternity Leave she was shot. Even though she was wearing a bulletproof vest, they only covered the chest and stomach and the back. The sides are fair game and one of the perps she was trying to apprehend was able to shoot her in the side lodging the bullet right under the vest and they hit an artery. Despite saving her life in surgery,  while she was recovering in the ICU she stroked out and with Lindsey and little near two-month-old Clara by her side, she took her last breath. 

It was Lindsey's decision ultimately, the machines could keep her alive but her brain was gone, and even if she was living she'd virtually be asleep for the rest of her life and he didn't' want to do that to himself and Clara. FBI Agent, Diana Prince passed away on May 28th, 1983.

Stevie Nicks was born to Barbara and Jess on May 26, 1958, in Phoenix Arizona. She graduated High School in 1976 a week before her eighteenth birthday. Upon her graduation, she decided that she wanted to attend San Jose State. She majored in Speech Communication and minored in Psychology. She graduated with honors in 1980 and in a split second decision she and her best friends-Robin Snyder, Sharon Celani, and Lori Perry-decided to move to Santa Monica to get their masters from USC. Now, in 1983-Lori, Sharon, and Robin got jobs teaching at local schools. Robin and Sharon working at two separate Elementary Schools as SLPs (Speech and Language Pathologists).Lori went and taught at the High School. Stevie had a job offer at the High School but she turned it down saying she wanted to go get her doctoral degree.
