Julie was born June 7, 1952 in Bloomington, the daughter of Eldon "Eldy" Jannusch and Laurel Lee Funk Jannusch.

I dated Julie in 1968. We were together almost every night. I enlisted in the Army and before i left i had told her I wanted to marry her when I got out. I loved her then and even tho we never married I never really stopped caring deeply for her. We went down different roads and it was a long time before i ever saw her again. Not that I didn't want to I just didn't think she wanted to see me. Maybe I was wrong but now I will never know for sure.
Julie, I have never truly stopped loving you and I will always cherish the memories. You will always have a special place in my heart.
Until we meet again. Love you!
