Karen's Story

I'm moving to Wilmington, NC in early June 2017. We've had a house there for 6 yrs, and now I'll be moving there full time. I'm also securing my place in the class of 1968, as the person with not only the most marriages (3) but also the most divorces (3). Unless I hear otherwise ... glad to relinquish this record. I recently had lunch with Ken Cook in Englewood, CO, and our waiter took our picture, which I posted. Wonderful man with a great memory and stories to tell. That's all for now. I've been in Denver since 1978. Of all things, I'm a divorce lawyer - we like to call it "family law." I have four children (37,34, 25 and 23), and two grandchildren. I live in the old Stapleton Airport redevelopment district, where the colors are pre-selected, the yards are small, and the trees are evenly spaced. It appeals to my OCD. I've been divorced twice and remarried my second husband five years ago. (At the last reunion, I won the certificate for Most Often Married.

in.) We try to be patient and tolerant with one another. Our usual response to any complaint is, you knew what you were getting into. I long to move back to the East coast, when we finally retire. Leslie Myers is in the Wilmington, NC area, where I hope we end up. Ken Cook was living and practicing law here last I knew. Alexis Paige (Alexis Namaste)is also here, and our jobs overlap on occasion. (She's a mediator, and a wonderfully serene woman.) Virginia Harper (Dr. Ginni) is still in Florida, and every once in a while she'll dial the wrong number and reach me by accident, which is always a treat. I recently discovered that my back-door neighbor here in Stapleton (Denver) lived on Dalebrook Drive (Virginia Harper's street in Waynewood) and her brother attended Fort Hunt. We're everywhere. I'm planning on attending the 60th birthday celebration with her next February in Florida, and hope to see some of you there. And here's my update as of January 5, 2015. I retired about a year ago and I am going back and forth between Denver and Wilmington, NC.

Two happy mothers and one lucky sweetheart, Campbell.
Had lunch yesterday with a Fort Hunt High School, Alexandria, VA, classmate, Ken Cook, captain of our football team.  (Go Federals!). Wonderful guy with lots of stories to tell.  Where did those 50 years go?
My wonderful son, Matt Best, and his best friend and love of his life, Mindy Viering, got married last week.  So happy for them.

To paraphrase Harry Truman, if you want a friend to watch reality TV with you in Denver, get a dog.  This is Louie, my BFF.
So, it's 4:31pm, almost 5 here but 5:00 somewhere, and I go to the wine cellar (the bag of wine in the garage), and from the fine wines I recently purchased (see photo) I must make a selection.  So, I pick the one with the
