                        Remembering Karin Porter

  Karin Porter of Philadelphia spent 35 years as an investigator for 
the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which many know as 
the EEOC. As many people know, the EEOC is responsible for enforcing 
Federal anti-discrimination laws in the workplace and protecting 
workers and job applicants who have faced discrimination.
  Karin was from Philadelphia, as I mentioned, and she raised her 
granddaughter Krystin. According to Krystin, Karin loved to travel. She 
loved to swim and to dance, and she was an avid shopper. Everyone loved 
Karin, and she was always the life of the party.
  Karin got sick with COVID-19 right after her 69th birthday and died 
in April of this year.
  In remembering her grandmother, Krystin said: ``To know her, was to 
love her.'' Like so many families, as well, Karin's death was very 
sudden, and like too many others this year, all across our State and 
across the country, she has left behind a family in grief as they 
endure her passing.
  So we send our sympathies and condolences to Karin Porter's family.
