Sorry to read this but would like to add some thoughts about years ago. A bunch of Kaukauna girls would fill up our car, drive to Wrightstown, and cruise up and down the bridge. I remember Couger and his car. It was quite the deal back then. I also know Gene and Honey and I think he lived close to Lamers? Fond memories of Reedy's, and so many kids from those days, Geyso's, Klisters, Orlo, Roebke's Pagels, it was fun times and I mean no disrespect, just brings back memories of better days..
