I'm sad to be writing this message. Corinne was my first girlfriend in the early 1950's. We were rivals from her Gage Park and my Lindblom High Schools. We were confirmed together and we had many mutual friends from the south side. She was a gentle soul and will be greatly missed. Fly high and dance long. I'm sure Wisconsin welcomes you...
