To The Family of Elaine,
You do not know me. But If there are any others around Elaine's age they may remember my sister Lois Nelson Claassen. They were in school together and very good friends. I contacted Elaine when Lois passed away. Just wanted you to know that I seen the picture and the name on the Des Moines Register internet site.
Anyone my sister loved I did too.
Blessings to you all
