When Kathryn Parker worked here at Melody's, and found out Ray Pool was coming to visit, she was so impressed and excited. We put up a short blog page with a picture of her and Ray at our shop. Entitled Ray Pool's visit to Melody's.
Well - Kathryn gained fame as a teacher and had to leave us due to her heavy teaching schedule. And then she had a baby, and brought him to visit us.
So now she has her own blog page!
Kathryn looks great and her baby, Luke, never cried once!
