ghs1974 - Karin Allen Moses

Thanks to Facebook I have found my way to the GHS class of 74 site. It has been fun and interesting "catching up" with everyone by reading your pages.

I have lived in the Seattle area (Enumclaw) for 30 years. I attendied BYU, majoring in music (of course!) and married in my sophomore year. We moved to Enumclaw in 1979. Will and I had four children and divorced in 1995. (I was still a little traumatized at our 20 year reunion!) I took the time to finish my bachelors degree in Music Education at University of Puget Sound. I also got my masters in teaching from UPS. I have been teaching middle school music (band, jazz band, choir, guitar) for 13 years.

I still play clarinet regularly in the Rainier Symphony (Seattle) and locally with the Gateway Concert Band.

My children are all grown and out of the nest. Cameron, the oldest, is a senior at BYU majoring in construction management. He is looking for an internship this summer and fall (all you construction guys...). He is married to Manami Shoji and they have a beautiful 9 month old son, Nicholas Seiji Riedel. George graduated from BYU in political science and is working for Farmers Insurance as an ajduster in SLC. He is marrying Katherine Ory on August 15 (in New Orleans). Nicholas graduated from BYU in engineering and works for Pratt Whitney in New Haven Connecticut. He is married to Kelly Johnson and they have two children, John Andrew Riedel (almost 3) and Easton Harris Riedel (almost 1). Mary (my youngest) lives in Enumclaw and is currently attending college nearby (accounting). She is married to Nate Peterson. They had a beautiful baby girl, Liliana, who passed away very suddenly this year (January 31) when she was 9 month old.

I married the most wonderful man in the world, Mark Moses, on July 14, 2000. Mark works full time in Wash. State National Guard as a Career Counselor and has a business, too, Mt. Peak Automotive. Mark has a daughter, Sara, married to Rey Martinez and we have a granddaughter, Cierra, who is 6 years old. Sara and family live close by in Kent and Sara is a property manager.

We enjoy home improvement projects, gardening, and church activities, whenever I am not dragging Mark off to my concerts or school performances/activities. He is a good sport, I am sure he would rather be home watching the Mariners, Seahawks, etc.
