As was often the case during deer hunting season, I would try and visit as many of my Aunts and Uncles as I had time for, in retrospect, I wish I had MADE more time for that.
When visiting my Aunt Pauline one Saturday night - she was busy in the kitchen making bread - teased her about just going to Trig's but she would have none of that !! Throughout the course of talking about bread she reported that she has been making bread and rolls on Saturday night for over 40 years....at the time that didn't sink in....upon reflection, since that day I think of the love and dedication she must have had for her family - like so many others she could have easily have made that trip to Trig's. But she didn't as that would have not made sense to her.
Pauline Lorbetske was born on this date in 1916 - Europe was embroiled in WWI, women in the USA had to earned the right to vote, there were 48 States and in a few years the Great Depression was about to engulf the country. Pauline was born in Bevent Wisconsin the seventh child of Frank and Amelia. Sometime in the early 1930's her parents moved to Sugar Camp Wisconsin where she met and then married Clements Kunda on the 21st of December 1933 at St Kunegunda's Church.
The Kunda's lived in southern Vilas County for a few short years. As WWII was starting Pauline and Clements bought the family farm on the end of Rolling Acres Drive from her father Frank.
Pauline and Clem had 6 children. After farming they moved to Mill Lake, at the end of Mill Lake Road; an area which became "Kundaville" (my words) as most of their children also built houses there.
Aunt Pauline died in 2006 and is buried in St Kunegunda's Cemetery - she was survived by her 6 children, 9 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
