(1953 May)
Tuckers were in Milwaukee the same weekend as it was Mother's Week End. Two plays were given for entertainment, and one was "Fumed Oak" by Noel Coward. All were shocked by the filthy language. I just must find it and read it, or if you could tell me about it, it would suffice.
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.
