Kathryn Legg was born in Athens, GA in January 1964 and lived with her mom, who nick-named her Kitten, along with her younger sister, Angela and two brothers, Douglas & Joel. They moved a lot, mostly around the Athens area, through her 8th grade year. She looked forward to spending time each summer at her Grandmother Wells' place in Lakemont, GA on the beautiful Lake Rabun. For Kathryn, Lake Rabun felt like "home".
In Sept 1978 she moved to her Dad's in Covington, GA and attended Newton County Comprehensive High School all four years of high school, graduating in 1982. Upon completing her required courses for graduation she left in April 1982 to take a traveling sales position with Hallmark Studios; went back for three days in June for her graduation ceremony then back on the road; visiting 42 of our states in two and a half years.
During ninth grade, Kathryn met her best friend, Sophia Gourley who overheard her nick-name Kitten and changed it to Kitty which stuck all through high school.
