The Koch Family
Art Koch, his wife Kathy, and their two daughters, Kristen and Karan,
were billed as The Koch Family when they were interviewed for a 1993
episode of
Across Indiana (1988). They
appeared as part of a story on the restoration of the Indiana Soldiers'
and Sailors' Monument in Indianapolis. Celebrities and ordinary folks
alike bought steps to the staircase leading up to the observation deck;
each step came with a plaque. The Koch family bought a plaque for their
daughter, Colleen T. Koch (1/10/62-8/23/65), who died of cancer. The
Koch family are loyal fans of the Indy 500, and in 2008 they attended
their 49th race in a row.
