I am honored to be mentioned in Kathy's obituary. Writing They Made America, especially the chapter on Gray Kildall, I came across Kathy's work and appreciated not only her b rilliance but kindness in instructing a mere historian into the intricacies of her work. She made a major contribution to our modern world and did it with modesty and grace. Sir Harold Evans

Karen,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family on your recent losses. Kathy was a a very special person and all who knew her will mourn her loss. She helped so many people, including me, and my memory of her will always remain strong, particularly from the early times at DRI.

Karen, I was indeed saddened to learn of your multiple losses. I worked with Kathy for a number of years, both at DRI (I guess I was employee # 5 or #6) and at NPS. It was Kathy who encouraged me to apply to NPS --such a good move. She will be missed by so many!
