Bios: Karen Martin Rolf
She said, "Make sure you spell my name right."
I told her I thought I could handle that. A few minutes later, she was clapping because her granddaughter had won the championship for the junior age division.
I'll be announcing the show, starting early this morning, so I'd better get moving. Have made it to the N's on the nametags by the way, and for some reason, I had no problem whatsoever spelling "B-R-O-W-N" on Carolyn's tag.
I also talked with Karen Martin Rolf, and she had good news, as you'll read in her bio. Keep sending them: malove@imbris.net, and, yes, you can still sign up for the reunion.
Karen Martin Rolf: As a toddler I would call after my three older brothers, “Wait for me!” This afternoon I was reminded of that phrase as I phoned Marianne with our request to be added to the reunion guest list. I had been delaying the decision to attend until the deadline because of Federal District jury duty.
Good news arrived this p.m. I was released from my duties. Now! I feel like I have retired for the second time. My schedule is now of my own making once again.
My first retirement was five years ago. My husband retired from Boeing Computer Services in 2000. I left the local school system in Auburn, Washington, and we headed to Idaho. The only time we look back is to visit our three sons and two grandchildren.
We are retired from a work schedule and now have the option to fill our schedule with travel, camping, hunting, fishing, and our many friends. You can reach us at drolf@sandpoint.net or pick up the phone and dial . . . I am local once again!
