Karleen's Story
Karleen is from Boone, Iowa. Karleen's schools include Iowa Falls High School. Karleen later attended University of Northern Iowa. Karleen works(ed) at A Spotless Home & Office.
One of Karleen's favorite quotes is:"E. B. White:
You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that.
Charlotte, "Charlotte's Web"".
