Condolences to the family. I had Mr. Endres at Baraboo Junior High in study hall. We didn't mess around! He was very fair I thought. Sorry for your loss.

It was very kind of uncle Paul to help our dad, Joe, to get his diploma. It was a very proud evening for him. For all of us! Not very often that the children and grandchildren of the graduate can attend the ceremony!
