Bonnie Born, wife of Harold Born, grew up in Waseca as Bonnie Von Sien, living on Von Sien's Hill. This is the hill on the east side of Waseca, south of highway 14, across the highway from Maplewood Park. For many years it has been Kiesler's Campground. Bonnie was also a Girl Scout and these pictures are from her years hiking and camping in Maplewood Park.
