Here's a happy story we'd like to share,

Remember a while ago when I asked you if you had any contact information about my best friend from grade school...Karen Magnuson, who didn't actually graduate with us at Grant because she had to leave at the end of Junior year???  You sent me an email that said you had no contact info but heard she had passed away and you tried to contact her brother for confirmation but got no answer...   I had actually heard that years ago too but blocked it out because I didn't want to believe it.  I was searching for her all those years but when you emailed me back I just thought "OMG, it must be true".  Well, April 13, 2012, which was the best Friday the 13th of my life, I received an email from her!  She found me by visiting our class web site and saw my contact info on the Sponsor Page, I think!  We've been in close contact ever since and I just want you to know she is alive and well.  I told her the story above and asked if she'd mind if I let you know this and she said, "Not at all.  Go right ahead."  She's coming to visit me at our Florida home in July and I am going to ask her if she can possibly sneak away and come as my guest to the 1970 Alumni B-Day Party when I see her.  I hope she can make it. 

Thank you Kirby and Rick P. and all the alumni committee members for all your efforts and hard work regarding our Class web site and reunions for all these years!  Without you I would never have been reconnected with a really great friend!  Kathy Radzik.
