Adeline Radloff skating on Shadow Lake, Waupaca, Wisconsin, ca. 1941

This is Adeline RADLOFF DEGODT AYRES (1925 - 2014) ice skating on Shadow Lake in Waupaca. I am guessing this is 1941-42 as she looks to be 16 or 17 to me. She had spunk in truckloads! I remember her working as a school crossing guard in the 1980s and slapping her stick down on the hood of a car that edged too far into the crosswalk. It is funny to think that today her grave marker is up on that hill in Lakeside Cemetery (behind her in this photo) with its inscription of "See You Later."
