Well, as long as we're on a roll with Caroline's thread, here's an article about the Broadmoor Speedskating Club in the Littleton/Colorado Springs area with a brief mention of Caroline and husband J.P. Kepka (they were married in September 2006.) I've also heard somewhere that Caroline is quite a horsewoman, which puts her on a pedestal in my little world...
