Karen Dunaway has stick-to-itiveness

"Stick-to-itiveness" is an officially defined word in the online version of Merriam-Webster's Dictionary.  The definition is "dogged perseverance; tenacity."  The online dictionary also provides a link to the definition of "tenacity," and herein lies an interesting twist.  "Tenacity" is also a synonym for "courage."  Maybe this is why the term "stick-to-itiveness" seems to apply so well to Karen Dunaway.  No matter what the assignment, no matter what the demands might be, Karen will see it through with "dogged perseverance," and courage.
