Quotes

• [on changing her last name from Staub to Kane] No. I did not get married. Yes, Kane is my middle name. And, I lost my verification when I changed my name, but working to get it back. Why? People struggled with pronouncing and spelling 'Staub.' Got tired of 'Stab' and 'Stub,' so "Chelsea Kane" makes life simpler. I know it's a little strange to get used to, but thanks for making the best of it until we all get comfortable with it!
