Dear family of Rita Engelhaupt,
Rita was in my class in elementary school at District 72, St Anna, Minnesota. We went on to Holdingford High School at which Rita was the Homecoming Queen while there. I did contact her when I arrived in California to teach school. Somehow, after the passing of her husband, we lost contact, even though she lived in Los Alamitos and I lived in Torrance about 11 miles away.
I was very surprised to learn of her passing. I believe she is the 25th classmate of the Class of 1958 who is now deceased. I would like to hear about her life if you have time to send a note online.
Please accept my condolence for your loss. I still have the oven mitts she gave me one Christmas when we got together. Here is my address and my email:
