This blog
post returns to Karen Peck who is my inspiration and guardian angel.
I am
remembering Karen on her birthday. She
was born July 15, 1957.
As mentioned
in my previous post, Karen’s maternal Aunt Jean Giczkowski Jazemski was very
close to her. Aunt Jean did not have any
children of her own, so she treated Karen like the child she never had.
On Karen’s
16th birthday, Aunt Jean presented her with a scrapbook that she had
been working on for three years, but I assume planning it all along from the
beginning. It was a work of love and pride. Jean was excited with everything that
Karen said, did, and accomplished.
She shared
her memories of Karen and important milestones, and for pictures she did not
have she replaced with clippings from newspapers and magazines. She also was a fan of the comic strip, The
Family Circus.
So, I would
like to share some parts of the Scrapbook with you from Karen’s birth to age 4
years of age. There are many more pages to share later.
***On a
different note, Karen’s parents were Ambrose (Hank) and Ann Giczkowski
Pecynski. Before Karen was born they
legally changed their name to Peck.*** I
do not know the reason for the name change.

Please
note I am still very interested in any items someone might have purchased at
KAREN’S AND HER MOTHER’S ESTATE SALES.
Including
this item sold on Ebay.

ALSO:
I am
still very interested in any items from KAREN PECK’S BROADCASTING
CAREER or anything else someone might have purchased from either
Karen’s mother Estate sale or her own.
Special
thanks to Marty Biniasz for his contribution to my project.
