My Babysitter
Karen Oldham is noteworthy for two things:
1) Keeping me out of the emergency room when she babysat me (not a small task considering my penchant for breaking parts of my body.) I have am mental image of a photo somewhere of me scrunched down on Dad's front porch (as a what 3 - 4 year old?) and dressed in one of my mother's english AC/DC schoolboy shorts out fits and Karen standing next to me. Pretty sure she was a teen.
2) The Romans have two people train a new Pope on how to really be a Catholic. One is my mother (Roman) and the other is Karen (Orthodox).
Karen is currently doing a John Wayne on something evil that crawled into her torso calling itself cancer. Read about the Karen giving the dark side a smack down here:

Reminds me I need to ask her or her Dad the meaning of those two extra bars on the Crucifix.
