Rockford East High - Class of 1976

Karen Ulander Andersen and I, August 2016 at the Anything that floats Rock River Raft Races. I can’t believe it was that long ago.

Sad news for our class! Ulander Anderson became my friend at Lincoln Middle School because our brothers who were 10 years older than us were friends in high school and thereafter. We had some FUN times together. Thank you, Kathy Tongue Mancuso for sharing this. ❤️
