QueenFish Studios would like to dedicate this site to Fay Kokkeler, Percussion Teacher and ensemble director of Rich and Karen in their young years and still going strong as the Chorus Director of Seminal Middle School in Plantation Florida and as the Principle Timpanist of the Florida Sunshine Pops Orchestra. We never realized what an impact her instruction and guidance would have on us.

 QueenFish Studios would also like to dedicate this site to the Jazz Duo, Sandy and Lynn, AKA David Sulzinski and Elaine Sulzinski, Karen's mom and dad. Talented musicians who performed in the 50's, Sandy and Lynne had a unique sound which attracted fans from all over the United States that followed them to Las Vegas, California, Chicago, and New York. They only settled down to raise their two children. The world lost two characters when they died within three years of each other, both at the age of 59.   Their light always shines within us. Their gifts of love, music and humor lives on in their children and grand children, Mikal and Jan, and have finally begun to reveal themselves.

Billy van Riper, who we all lost in January, was an amazing jazz guitarist and friend. He was an inspiration to all young musicians who encouraged them to be on top of their game as well as to just have fun. He allowed the kids to play with him on his gigs which cultivated them into wonderful young musicians. Billy is so missed here on earth but his happy soul lives on in everyone he knew.
