Gochez and Castro Families immigrated from Barelona Spain to El Salvador in mid 1800
In 1929, Karen's paternal great uncle, El Salvador's Attorney General, was assasignated in a political uprising. This prompted her paternal grandmother to immigrate from Central America to San Francisco on a cargo ship through to the Port of San Francisco. Her great grandfather, Idelico Gochez, was a professor of Philosophy at the University of El Salvador.
Karen sails today on modern and historic vessels for personal pleasure in the San Francisco Bay and abroad.
