The Cousin I Couldn’t Forget

By Len Koepsell in Original Content Vol 1 — Aug 25, 2025

Hi, I’m Carly,

It happened about fifteen years ago, in the Lahe Country of southeastern Wisconsin. Have any wild childs in your circle? My cousin, Lauren Lavina Thompson, Laurie to me, always was a wild child. I thought maybe it was because of her homelife, growing up without a dad. Anyway, when I heard she drowned, it didn’t make sense. Laurie was a good swimmer, with or without a bathing suit.
