| Stephanie Kau |
Biography:
Stephanie Kau has loved taking pictures... and having pictures taken of her... most of her life.
She and her friends at Crow High School are frequently seen snapping shots of themselves –
heads together, camera or cell phone extended in the hand of one of them, as they smile into
the lens. These self-portraits and other digital pictures have so loaded down the Kau family’s
home computer that there is no longer room on the hard drive for other things. It’s a good
thing that her father Brian Kau is a computer guru for North Eugene High School as well as a
math teacher. He’s able to keep Stephanie’s pictures safely stored.
The cover picture is one that Stephanie took with her inexpensive Olympus digital camera in
the Spring of 2007 while she and her friends were at a Crow baseball game at Elmira High
School. The girls put their heads together while Steph stretched her arm out in front of them to
snap the shot. They took several pictures that day, but this one turned out so well that
Stephanie had it enlarged and entered it into the photo contest at the Lane County 4-H Youth
Fair last August. It won a Grand Champion ribbon in the Senior Division and was automatically
entered in the Oregon State Fair photo show where it was recognized with a blue ribbon.
Stephanie attended Lorane Elementary School as did her mother Michele (Edwards) Kau and
both of her sisters, Linsey and Hayley. She graduated from Crow High School in June 2008.
Steph is enrolled at Western Oregon State University where she will major in child
development. She was active at Crow High School as a member of Honor Society, Student
Council, and as an ambassador during a week’s trip to the Dominican Republic through her
work with the Crow High School’s Humanitarian Club. She is an accomplished athlete, earning
letters in volleyball, basketball and track in all four years at Crow.
Her accomplices in the photo-shoot, Sharlyn Anderson, Alix Kihn-Stang and Hayley Diess also
graduated from Crow High School in June. Alix, like Steph, grew up in the Lorane area and
Sharlyn and Hayley live in Crow. (Summer 2008)
