Everyone loves a good
love story — especially
around Valentine’s Day.
A few weeks ago, The
Lake Forest Leader asked
residents to tell us their
love stories as part of our
annual How We Met contest
for a chance to win a
prize.
Residents wrote in and
pulled at our heart strings
by telling us how they met
their valentine.
We heard some great
stories this year, but unfortunately
there can only
be one winner.
This year’s winner,
Barbara Vallaly, of Lake
Forest, will receive a gift
card to Francesca’s Intimo
in Lake Forest. The Lake
Forest Leader thanks
Francesca’s Intimo for
supporting the How We
Met Contest for the second
year in a row.

met her late husband at a
“house wrecking party”.
The full story is below:
I was single and living
in a studio apartment on
the 24th floor at Sandburg
Village in Chicago. One
Friday night in January,
1976, after teaching high
school students all day, I
got a call from my friend
Peggy. Did I want to go
out? I hesitated. Part of
me said no, but then I
said, “Well, we’re never
going to meet anyone
