Katijo is my oldest daughter. She enjoys school and has been making straight A's. She has also been in top competition in her state spelling bee contest in Oklahoma for two years in a row.

Below is a close up picture of her.

The two girls are close to each other. Below Katijo is sitting next to her younger sister Jeaudon Nannette Ripley

Katijo also enjoyed her first roller skates during that Christmas visit. Before I had given them an oven where the light bulb would bake some cookies. A year later their bulb went out and their mother was too lazy to purchase a bulb. I took a replacement bulb with me but their mother tore up the oven to prevent the girls from using it.
