These 2 are my grandfather, Richard Gruenewald, who was born in 1933 and was a Junior at Shorewood High School (Milwaukee) in 1949. I knew he played baseball all his life and it's cool to see him back in the day.
These next pages are for my grandmother, Elaine Thielke (Buswell) from Kiel, Wisconsin. She was on many other pages for German club, drama, choir, and a few other random extracurriculars, but seeing your Grandma as a high school cheerleader really takes the cake. Her family were dairy farmers, and her classmates pegged her as a future "dairy maid" but they got that one wrong - she got married and moved out of the countryside and spent her working life as a nurse. I know I'm grateful she chose that path or I suppose I wouldn't exist. :-)
