"You are
quite knowledgeable about this time period and
quality living history. Your style was
delightful and credible and the audience was
comfortable, intrigued, and drawn into your
stories."
--Sally Freeman
Park Ranger, Lewis and Clark NHP, Fort Clatsop
"To use an
overworked word, you were AWESOME!!! You had just
the right blend of folksy, downhome good old
storytelling, and a great rapport with our Kent
children. They all loved it -- and I noticed the
parents were just as enthralled as the kids!"
--Laurin Linscott
Children's Librarian, Kent Regional Library
"Karen is
extremely skilled at using audience participation to
bring the kids right into the story. There's never
a boring moment."
--J.T. Isch
Youth Services Librarian, Pierce County Library System
"My
students have really enjoyed Karen's visits. She
knows how to inhabit a role in a convincing way, tell a
great story and be historically accurate as she brings a
character to life. Her knowledge of details,
anecdotes and regional history is amazing."
--Pat Martin
History Teacher, Auburn High School
"Karen’s
presentation of women of the Northwest frontier not only gave
children an immediate and accessible view of history, but
generated interest and involvement. Our 4th and 5th grade
social studies curricula were greatly enhanced by her direct and
engaging connection with our students."
--Ann Welton,
librarian & reading teacher, Grant Elementary School
