Author Bio
In 1939, Kathy Catrambone's grandfather purchased land in Wauconda on which sat a small cottage. He established a summer tradition that his family continues to enjoy more than 70 years later. Marianne Folise's father and uncles purchased land after World War II in Maiman's Lakeside Subdivision. They enjoyed helping each other build summer cottages that they later converted to their permanent residences. Marianne is a 1959 graduate of Wauconda Township High School and maintains many close friendships with former classmates.
