Runge (Rung-Gee) is a very famous Madisonian name. Carlisle Runge was a Colonel in the US Army during the Kennedy Administration and worked with the Army Reserves. They lived on Piper Drive near Tokay Bl. Ford and Frederika attended Midvale....Ford is up at Univ. of Minn. as a full professor, and Frederika is on WHA 21 TV. The mother was a superb singer and actress, am sure she did some Madison Theatre Guild stuff in the late 50's early 60's.
