Karen Sue's Story
Life
Been living in Frankfort, Kentucky for 30+ years and married to the love of my life, Dan Armstrong, all that time. First and only marriage. Dan was previously married and had two kids when we married: Scott, now 40 years old - we just had a big 40th party for him; and Heidi, 38, who lives in Denver, CO and is the HR director for the ABC affiliate in Denver, Channel 7; Dan and I have a son, Daniel Armstrong, Jr., who is an artist and adventurer. He lives on an historic ship, The Adventuress, in Puget Sound, WA; he's the ship's engineer. He's been there for about 3 years; he previously was aboard the Schooner Virginia and before that, the H.M.S. Bounty, on which Mutiny On the Bounty was filmed, as well as the various Pirates of the Carribean movies. None of our kids are married, though Scott was previously and we have a gloriously wonderful grand-daughter, Eve Armstrong, from that marriage. She loves to spend time on our pontoon boat on Taylorsville Lake, a desination about 40 minutes from us which is dear to our souls and spirits.

died at Leslie College of Education in Boston, MA for short term classes; also completed certification in languages at University of France in Nice, France, 1975. Lived in Europe for about a year. Was fortunate to be able to travel a lot before I was married. We still love to travel -- just returned from a trip to Montreal, Quebec in July. Other locations include: Rio de Janeiro (1992 - I was Kentucky Governor Brereton Jones' representative to the Earth Summit: The United Nations Conference on Economic Development and Environment); Santiago, Chile (1998 - another conference); New Zealand in 2000 -- one of my all time favorite places; and Rome, Italy 2002. I was a U.S. NGO representative to the World Food and Agriculture Summit, conducted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

Walk to work and back -- the job's at the state's capitol building, and we live about 3 blocks away.
