Karen was our class Valedictorian. You may not have known her because she was rather shy. Karen and I were the two quiet, nerdy girls in all the college-bound courses. We often ended up in the same class sitting next to each other. And, so, we became friends. I lost touch with her over the years. On a visit back to Belleville in the late 90's, I saw her father's obituary in the News Democrat. He was Reverend Neunaber. I decided to pay my respects and reconnect with my old friend. I was sad to learn from her family that she had passed away several years before. She was a surgical nurse, and was married with several children. I am sorry to say that I don't know more about her. She was a very sweet and brainy young lady and I was happy to have known her.
