Kathi has studied Genealogy and Family History at the UW, taught classes about accessing online genealogy, contributed essays to www.HistoryLink.org, was recently published in the Seattle Genealogical Society newsletter and will have her current one act play, “The Sounds of Silence,” produced as part of the 2016 Actors Theater of Orcas Island PlayFest.
