I am the Karen Kahn from the January class. 

I have lived in the same house in Deerfield for 40 years - having had a baby the day I moved into the house. 

Two daughters, Rebecca (Dr. Beckie) (43) a pediatrician and president of the Lake County Medical Society married to Stephen and they have two children - Jules (10) and his sister Hannah  (7-1/2).
Rachel (40)  is an architecht specializing in construction management and is married to Brian.  They have three children - Brady (7-1/2), Jake  (4-1/2) and their little sister, Hailey who is just a little over a year old.  I am most fortunate as both girls live close by.

Married in 1965 and separated in 1980.  About a year later met my true love and soul mate and after 30 years, he and I are still together and very happy. 

Went back to school after the separation and finally did what I had always wanted to do.  It took three years and I became a "draftsman".  I worked for 25 years in the Geotechnical Engineering field and drew up some of the works for some great landmarks like, the expansion of the Shedd Aquarium, Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, and most of the tall buildings in downtown Chicago.  It was a wonderful experience.  I retired three years ago and do not miss working but do miss the drawing aspect of it.

I serve as commissioner on the Board of Zoning Appeals for the Village of Deerfield.
