June jamrich ParsonsMy sincere condolences as yet another star of the Great Generation fades into the dusky twilight. Helen was always warm and welcoming when my family visited the farm. My grandmother, Anna Hrupka, took the opportunity of our visits to her 2910 52nd Street home in Kenosha to heard us all out to see the Redmonds. It was not a long drive over a series of hillocks that my father called Follet's Folly. Arriving at the farm, there were cows and apples, as I recall. Must have been a vegetable garden. A cozy farmhouse. Helen bustling about in the kitchen. Kolachis and strudel. Fond memories.
