  • Hi LeeAnn…it’s Sarah Gruenwald. Now Krause. So sorry to hear of your parents’ passing. I returned to WI in 1989. I have great memories of our horse-drawing (and riding) lessons, your mothers cookie ornaments, and our mutual love of writing and espionage shows. Paul Vnuk ended up accidentally moving a few doors down from me, in Racine!! If you see this you can find me on Facebook under SBeth Gruen
