I have had the fun and the pleasure
to watch Karyn grow up into the
extraordinary woman she is today.
She has a triad of great qualities: intelligence, warmth and curiosity.
And a myriad of extra gifts, to name just a few:
A loving heart, natural graciousness, ethics, equanimity and empathy.
Adding to her personal world, she has married
her soulmate, Steven Kobre, and together have
brought forth a remarkable quartet of children.
I am blessed to be part of their extended family.
Rhonda Lehr MD
Congratulations Karyn!
