Friends of Lindsey Plank describe the 23-year-old chemistry student’s personal side, calling her fun-loving, goofy, perky, wild, energetic and uniquely charismatic.
“She was ready and raring to go all the time. I could never imagine her being in a bad mood. She was incredibly energetic and wild. She had a zest for life that I haven’t seen with anybody else,” said Ashley Gritton, 23, who has known Plank since elementary school and reunited with her a month ago at their five-year high school reunion.
Plank, a Stoughton native, and her boyfriend, Richard H. Putze, 22, from Milwaukee, were killed along with Daniel Myers, 22, when the car the three were traveling in hit a tree just after 1:45 a.m. Wednesday at 215 S. Midvale Blvd., just north of Mineral Point Road.
