Catherine Baker Knoll is my grandmother's first cousin... so whatever relation that makes her to me... 3rd cousin I guess or something like that. I haven't seen her since I was about 11 at a family reunion. Don't really know her or anything...wish I did, could've helped me get some cushy jobs.

I saw this story on the news last night (My apartment complex looks down on Carnegie, literally [sometimes figuratively, too, lol] and I drive through it every day). It doesn't really make sense and we keep on hearing different things. I do think the family is sorta overreacting. They didn't seem to sincerely upset in the interviews that I saw on TV last night and today. It seems like they're trying to get something out of it. They didn't even seem all that grief-stricken, compared with the soldier's families that you usually seem on the news. Just seems shady to me.

I don't think what she did was entirely appropriate nor did it make a lot of sense... she is pretty up there (I believe upper 70's, probably almost 80 years old) in the years and has been involved in politics for a very long time. She was state treasurer for a number of years.
