Hi, Glad to find you all here. I ran across a message on a Kenny Rogers board asking why Karen wasn't chosen for the First Edition, when she auditioned. I came here to see what answers were had, but could not find that particular subject. I wasn't around at the time, but actually worked with The First Edition a short time later. I think they really liked Karen, but Mary Arnold, whom they chose, was Thelma's roommate, and Terry's girlfriend. I think that's why Karen wasn't chosen.
Anyway I am a long time Carpenters fan and am looking forward to reading all the great stuff here.

???hi and welcome Awdrey! wow! Did you work with Kenny and the 1st Ed.? I saw him in concert in '82 in Lubbock tx. Susan Anton was the opening act before him. They both were just superb! I wish I could say that I got to see the Carps. also, but no such luck. They live on stronger than ever through these sites. Again, welcome! smoothie

Thanks to all for the welcome! I worked with The First Edition in that I ran the Terry Williams fan club for years, and actually was fortunate enough to take over The First Edition fan club when the original one was disbanded. I was very good friends with the group, and still communicate regularly with some members. I saw The Carpenters only twice. Once in Birmingham Alabama, at a shower of stars show. Once in Atlanta, Ga., at the omni. The first time, I met Danny Woodhams, the second time I met Mark Rudolph, Karen, and Richard. I immediately fell in love with Karen's sense of humor. I am blessed to have a lovely photo of myself standing between Karen and Richard. Their music always meant the world to me. This coming week, I will take out all my Carpenter LPs, and give them a spin. What fun I shall have!!!!! Later, new friends.
