Awards

Recent honors include the following:

Kaitlin won the coveted "Gypsy Robe Award" at Presentation High School for her role as "Bernadette" (the rehearsal pianist) in the Fall 2003 production of 42nd Street. The robe is given to the chorus member who works hardest to bring her part to life. Recipients sew something on the robe that is symbolic of the show and their role, and pass it down to next year's winner.

In June 2002, when Karin graduated from Presentation High School and Kaitlin graduated from St. Martin of Tours Elementary School, Karin received the "Director's Award" for her involvement in drama, and Kaitlin received the Spanish award.

Karin displays a Sonoma State pennant in a video she created to apply for a community service scholarship from Philips Semiconductors (Doug's employer). She was one of two students who was awarded with a new laptop computer in recognition of her involvement in the community.

As a result of Karin's being honored by judges from American Musical Theatre of San Jose for her role as the Lion in Wizard of Oz, photographer Paul Tumason took this portrait to hang in the downtown Center for Performing Arts with those of other high school honorees.
