Rosetta was born in 1909 as the youngest of ten children. The family had more laughter than money and neighbors would knock on their door to ask, "Can we come in and laugh, too?"
I turned twelve in 1959, the year that Vince Lombardi came to Green Bay and changed ... well, everything.
Background
Information
I’m Linda Lange, and I’ve never forgotten what it was like to grow up in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in the sixties, while Vince Lombardi was coaching the Packers. After I graduated from Green Bay East High School and Northwestern University, I left Wisconsin. I spent ten years in Washington, DC, where I was a promotional copywriter for U.S. News & World Report magazine, and now I live in Cincinnati, OH. But I’ll always be a Cheesehead at heart.
When I talk to my BFF Pam, she always reminds me how lucky we were to come of age in that very special time and place. I’d like to share my memories with you in the pages of my first book, a memoir called Incomplete Passes: Reflections on Life, Love, and Football. I think you'll come to a new appreciation of heroes and good friends.
