Susan, Ann and Bill, Lorna - So sorry to learn of your Mom’s/Sister’s passing . We were co-teachers at Washington Jr High in Manitowoc and lived together. Your Dad would pick her up and bring her back out to Port (my home) and then we would drive up together Sunday nites.
I can’t believe I just found her obituary. I was googling her name to tell her something I found out about another of our roommates - Janice Peterson who lived with us and was the Home Economist at Mirro Aluminum.
Please accept my condolences. She was a great friend though we haven’t had contact or seen each other in many years.

Jane appeared in my life for the first time in January 1957 when both of us were assigned to the same freshman homeroom at Riverside High Scohool. During the four years at Riverside, Jane seemed to join every activity going on in the school: Allen, Cam, Class Sec., Dance, Emblem, F.T.A., G.A.A. Sec., German, Home Ec., Hop Court, Inter-High Sec., Vice Pres., Proj 2, 4, Prom Court, Prom Comm., Hop Comm., Pom-Pom, Skits, Stud. Coun., Tri-Hy-Y, Usherette, Variety Show. Her participation enriched the school lives of 1600 students at RHS. Beyond these extra curriculars, she was an excellent student in every subject. After high school, for 64 years she kept up contact with schoolmates. As class secretary, Jane helped organize the 25th, 50th, and 60th reunions of the 1961 class. We will never forget her contributions.
