I haven't seen Gina since I was a young boy, before I left home at the age of 12. I was her cousin and often times visted Uncle Tony and Aunt Jeannette. I lived in Sheboygan for about 1 year before entering the Navy in 1963, but lived in Cascade, WI since Dec 1957. She was a lot of fun to play with as well as Mary and Rick. May God be with her always.
