(1995 January)
I own three wastebaskets and find it very handy - one in bath room, one by bedside, and one by desk. Worse than your two telephones.
Polly Kay (1904-1997) vividly and with humor describes her life in Richland Center, Wisconsin, in excerpts from letters to her son Skip written after 1949, including her 5 last years in an old folks' home.
