Karen Bertsch:  

I moved to Kansas City in May of 1982. So...I have been here about 27 years. I work at Sprint, I have one daughter, who is 26 years old, and I had a son, but he passed away in 1987..He was only 1 1/2 years old. I am a very proud grandmother of two. Michael Jeremey who will be 5 years old on October 5th, and Dominic James, who was born November 2, 2006, and will be 3. Doesn't seem possible that I am a grandmother!!! But I love it!! I babysit both of them when I can. I love doing genealogy, and have been doing it since 1976. My friend Viki Anderson from Upstate New York, who I have known since I was born..started me doing genealogy. I enjoy looking for new ancestors everyday..Although lately I haven't worked on it at all. Another hobby I have is I play the piano and organ. I have always loved music, mostly Country Western, that is because my Dad's brother (my Uncle Donald) played the guitar, and at one time years ago had a radio program. He also played for dances. So I guess I am indoctrinated.!!! I got my Associates in degree in 2002. In the last year I re-connected with an old high school friend, that I went to summer school with in my Freshman year. Kathy (St. John)Radcliffe. in fact she knows more about me than any of my other friend...Expand for more
