• About me:

  Karen Smith Gibson is a registered nurse living in Richmond, VA who enjoys writing in her spare time. She lives with her husband, Fred, her two talented teenage sons and three dogs. She remains the only "girl" in the house.

• My claim to fame: Author of two books on sale on Amazon.com:  "Chasing SANE"  and "Hey Nurse!  Stories from the Other Side of the Bedpan".  Also, enjoyed working on a collaborative work here on WeBook titled "101 Things Every Man Should Know How to Do" in which I contributed two articles.  And once upon a time, I was a WOW!
  
  I took the last ride on the train through the train station in downtown Richmond.  If you get ahold of the footage, I'm the first grader backing down the steps with my plaid coat on with the black velvet collar.  No face for my fifteen minutes (actual 5) of fame, just pudgy little bobbysocked legs oh so carefully maneuvering their way backwards down the traincar steps.
  
  I was on the Bozo the Clown TV show (twice) on Channel 6.  My most memorable moment came when I participated in the balloon relay race where you grab a balloon, run to the chair across the floor and sit on the balloon trying to pop it.  I was in the second grade and probably weighed as much as a chihuahua and was wearing a skirt (1969ish).  On black and white TV, it appeared that I birthed a balloon from beneath my plaid knit skirt.
  
  I am on a 1980s Skateworld commerical actually dance/skating and singing to "YMCA".  I was unaware I was being filmed (obviously) and would have dove for posterity's sake had I not thought I was all that at the time and taken the time to notice the damn video camera on a tripod.
  
  With these qualifications and more, I am Mr. Bean's soulmate.
