Last year's third annual Make-a-Wish Walk at Rattlesnake Point help grant a wish to a little girl who wanted to visit the Roswell studio. Visiting the Roswell set proved to be far more exiting then she expected. "As you probably know my wish was to go to Los Angeles and visit the set of Roswell," writes Karen in her thank-you letter to the group. "My family and I got to stay in LA for a whole week (in a beautiful hotel overlooking a marina, I might add), so we actually got to do many other things besides, like going to Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Knott's Berry Farm (in the latter two places, I got a VIP pass so I wouldn't have to wait in line for the rides), take a bus tour of Hollywood (where I managed to get some nice pictures of movie stars' homes), and eat delicious meals at fancy restaurants in places like the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. "But, the best part of the trip had to be when I went to the Roswell set. We rode to Paramount Studios (where the show is filmed) in a limousine, we got to see all the sets they use for filming, and when the stars of the show came out to film, I got to chat with them, take some photos with them, and get their autographs." Karen was diagnosed with Acute Lympho blastic Leukemia last year. Her sister Beatrice referred her to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
