Sorry for your loss, Jan, Lisa, and Paul. So many good memories of our families together on Milson Ct.
Thank you Sue and Ken, Some of our fondest memories are from “The Milson Court kids”, Gary loved growing up in the Lacrosse area, boating on the Mississippi river, hunting and fishing.
Good memories on Milson Ct.,
Harold used to drive us to school.
Sorry for your loss Jan and Lisa.
24th street LaCrosse was a great place for kids, and Kiehnes were great neighbors. Gary might have been my best friend in those days. I miss those days.
Dear Tom, the 24th st gang was the best, I know he felt the same about his childhood with the Priebek’s. The memories are very sweet.
Gary and I were high school classmates, but more importantly, we had a mutual friend – Bill Espe. Early on, the three of us were fishing friends. Gary and Bill continued that friendship for years. Sorry for your family’s loss.
