Hi, Kathi and r900, and anyone else who reads this. . . .

I am so happy to tell you that I've signed up for the Candisc ride and am really looking forward to it. I decided to reserve motel rooms, as I'm somewhat of a wimp. When I was a little girl, I lived in Steele (one of the Candisc stops along the way), and when I called the motel in Steele, I told them who my father was and his name, and almost broke into tears when the gal said to me, "Oh, is this Karen?" It's been about 50 years since I lived there, so I was stunned out of my mind that anyone there would remember me or my family.

Thanks for your messages. It's so great to connect with gals who are participating in or who have participated in Candisc.
