(1994 September)
I have been writing for FR who sits at my table and is very kind but always opens each day's conversation with "I lost 2% of my vision today." At least that is the way he answered me when I asked him if he had a good time at the [Richland County] fair.
I enjoyed the Fair but I have had better times at it when I was younger and not carted round in a wheelchair where two kind girls wanted to go. But it was a fair day with only one menacing sprinkle of rain. The Ferris wheel was alligators after each other's tails. [Sketch of 3 gators in a circle, each biting the next one's tail.] You get the idea. We were gone 1-3 and that was OK. Time enough.
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.
