Karen was my first "new, best" friend in junior high, lived just catty-corner from my family's home when we moved in from a neighboring small town in 1967. Karen and I were so silly that first summer (she was one year older) as most teenage girls are together. Tried bikes, stilts, swimming, horses, football, learning math from her Dad. We grew apart as the grades and new friends separated us; however, we had reconnected last year by telephone and decided to meet again and probably at one of the reunions to come. So sorry we did not make that date. Always remember her smile and our silliness and our collie dogs (her Bobbie and my Cricket).... will see you again, my friend.... Jan

Karen Burke was one of the first people I met when we moved from Lincoln, Nebraska to Shawnee. SMNW had not opened, yet, so we were attending SMN our sophomore year. She tried so hard to make me fell welcome. Thank you, Karen, for caring.
