Especially given Kuna will be retiring next year.We should all be very proud of all Karen's accomplishments and we will benefit from them. I would like to ask all Karens, friends, family and students to collectively support our friend, instructor and coach in her "quest to the west!" If you can please send me a check in ANY amount you can handle (none to small) because together it will be BIG help to defer the travel expenses. Thank-you very much!! My address is,Noreen Scelzo (guess you better make checks out to me) I am honest!47 Hay st.Newbury, MA 01951 The sooner we do this the better for $$ airfares. December is not far away.Again, thanks!
