With graduation from the University of Wisconsin-Madison just months away, Andrea Sperka had reached a decision on her future after college while studying abroad this past spring in Cape Town, South Africa, her mother, Carol Sperka, said Sunday.
“She was going to tell us all the stuff she had decided on when she got home” in the next few weeks, Carol Sperka said. “She was going to tell me where she was headed, but we didn’t get that far.”
That conversation with her parents never occurred, because Sperka was killed in a car crash on July 1 in Botswana.
