I am originally from the country of England, born in a village adjacent to the historical town of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk. If you are ever planning a visit to the glorious country that is England please email me at karenschneider@cfl.rr.com and not the current address used for puppy inquiries as it could cause confusion. I relocated to the United States less than a week removed from the devastation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The preceding day after arriving in the country I married my husband Kenneth. Due to our marriage date being on a typical September morning we both like the musician Neil Diamond, especially his song ironically titled “September Morn”. I also enjoy music by the Bee Gees, Lionel Richie, and The Commodores among others.

Some other interests of mine are Formula 1 motor racing, and the traditional English sport of football/soccer as it is known as in North America. My favorite team that participates in this sport is Ipswich Town FC, a club considered local to my birth place of Bury St. Edmunds. I do enjoy reading when I make time, and when/if I manage to clear enough time I would love to read “All Creatures Great and Small.” The book is based on a Yorkshire veterinarian called James Herriot. While I was still in England I watched the television series of the book, which is the main reason as to why I desire to read the book. The author, James Herriot is actually a real veterinarian who wrote about his experiences.

As a side note I would also like to make it known that I am trying to discover history about my family tree. I am trying to trace a Ralph Purvis who was around Tunbridge Wells In Kent England around 1942. It is suspected that the person in question was a member of the Military , so please contact me at karenschneider@cfl.rr.com if you have any information on this matter.
