Karen's Story
Before I begin. . . the photo? Me and my crew, the spinoni brothers Atlas and Augustus in the midst of a guest room re-do. Typical chaos. . .
Latest Version of KK's Story: Just the Facts, Ma'am
Born September 9th, 1956 in Wilmington, Delaware. Parents are Sue and John Kouzmanoff, who separate during pregnancy and divorce in 1958. Sue marries Russell Wilson in 1960. Russell adopts me in 1962. Name change to Karen Wilson. Live in Bryn Mawr, PA until Friday, November 22, 1963, the day JFK is assinated. New home is in Wayne, PA, down the street from Roberts El. School. Love new neighborhood, new home, and new school. Attend Roberts 2nd-6th grade. Best friend is Leah Biddle. Favorite year is 6th grade with Mr. Murray and Mr. Princivalli plus all my great classmates! I rock Greek and Roman history; Chucky Levy brings in chocolate-covered insects for us to eat. Our class trip to New York City is the best. Too many wonderful moments. . . Go to Upper Merion Junior High from 1968-1971. Love 7th grade; 8th grade is endless levels of hell; 9th grade is such a relief, I barely remember it. Move up the hill to Upper Merion Senior High from 1971 to 1974.
