- Hi Clayton:
Hey...thanks for stopping by! My Aunt Suzanne lives in Laguna Beach. I used to think that I wanted to work at the City Fire Station there..not so sure anymore. They have had some fierce fires around there the last few years! Love the beach though, and playing volleyball there. Be sure to check out the book about me, ANGEL PROMISES at www.karenleefitzpatrick.com or can be ordered through any bookstore. Wine Press Publishing Group is the publisher..I also made quite a splash in John Maclean's THE THRTYMILE FIRE book. Actually, I like the place I'm in best now...no more probs!--Karen lee and friends
