I remember Mrs. Schuelke walking in the morning and afternoons...or when I would ride my horse by her house and both, Noreen and Keith, would come out and chat with me. I loved driving by their big house on the hill and the barn...my deepest sympathies to the families...just not the same on Grass Lake Road as it used to be.
