Karen's Story
Life
The facts more or less: Roger Murphy and I were married in 1971. We both graduated from Auburn University; he went on to graduate in 1982 from veterinary school at Auburn after a stint in the Air Force. We lived in several states while in the Air Force and before settling down in Lexington, Kentucky. I attended graduate school at Auburn and had our first child, a son, Jonathan, in 1977. I had our daughter, Jessica,in 1983 in Lexington. I decided to go to law school at the University of Kentucky and graduated in 1989. I feel as though it was sort of an accomplishment since very few married women with children made it through! We had a lot of fun in Lexington, owned some racehorses and enjoyed life. I worked for a litigation law firm for several years and then ended up working for the state in the general counsel's office of the Cabinet for Families and Children in Frankfort, Kentucky. In 1994 Roger and I were divorced.

nd Mark in 1997 and we were married in 1999. Jessica and I moved to Florida where Mark had grown up and owned a business. We live in Boca Raton. It was difficult leaving Lexington but Florida is an interesting place to be----Anyway, I hope to get back up north to the "South" eventually. In the meantime, I am an attorney in Palm Beach County, working for the Florida Department of Children and Families, representing the state of Florida when it removes abused and neglected children from their parents. It won't make me rich, but I feel as though I make a difference.
Our daughter Jessica will graduate from medical school in May 2012, and plans to specialize in ob/gyn. She married this year (2011) and her husband is in pharmacy school at Univ. of Florida. Our son Jonathan and his wife live in Palm Beach County and are both in school as well, he is majoring in engineering and she is a math major.
