Karen Carney Quotations

We knew there was going to be a drop off with school starting earlier,

We can pretty much say people are flying to and from Oklahoma City, and this is a trend. We've got the numbers to show that, and that helps when you are talking to the airlines.

The train's coming down the track ? we can't stop it, ... I think it would be irresponsible of us not to deal with it.

The past has been well intentioned, but it didn't work. It is going to be as hard to find Hispanic parents willing to give time to the district as it is with any other group.

I guess the good news that the summer travel season that we were projecting is becoming a reality. We certainly felt that our numbers were going to be there. Our parking lots and parking garage have been full throughout the month.

They haven't given us any indication of there being a change in service, ... Certainly, there's a lot of potential to secure some East Coast routes, and we will talking to them about that possibility.

We've talked to several airlines over the years about the possibility of nonstop service to Orlando because it is such a big market for us, ... Several carriers have looked at it, but Delta is the first to act on it.

Deciding to pursue watercolor painting after I retired has made a considerable difference in my life. I find it challenging (which is good for me) and fun (which is also good for me). Having lessons with Odie McReynolds and getting involved with the Ground Floor Studio painting group was a good move. We support each other and critique each other's work - we constantly learn from each other. The individuals in the group are very different with very different painting styles but we have found that we are compatible. The love of creating is a great common bond.

There's a garden view from every window. It's like coming in the front door of a house.

They mostly go to somewhere in their exhibit that would be shady and then just crawl under, and we try to make sure everybody has a shady place to go, and then they just crawl in there and sleep most of the time.
