Kathy Carlson

Music Specialist/Director

My husband and I have been married for 31 years.  We have lived in the Lewiston-Clarkston area most of our lives, except when we attended college in Portland, Oregon. 

I grew up on the family farm 25 miles west of Clarkston.  My parents, Ed and Della Rimmelspacher still live on the family farm, while my sister Rosemarie lives with her family in Salem, Oregon.  Over the years, my parents made a home for 13 foster children.  I attended Holy Family School, and graduated from Clarkston High School in 1969.  After graduation from high school, I attended Northwestern College of Business in Portland, Oregon and later graduated from Lewis-Clark State College in 1998.  For 10 years I owned and managed Small World, a Children's and Maternity wear shop.  I have been working at Holy Family School since 1989 as a Music Specialist/Director.  When I am not at the school, I work at our family business, R. C. Technologies Inc., doing clerical and bookkeeping services.

My husband, Rick, is a Certified Public Accountant.  he has owned and managed R. C. Technologies Inc., which is a computer firm which specializes in business consulting, computer hardware and software applications.  He was formerly employed by Lewis-Clark Computer Services in Clarkston, WA. and Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, ID.  He attended Lewis-Clark State College and Washington State University and has degrees from both schools.

Our biggest joy is spending time with our family.  We love to travel when we have the time.
