(1956 April)
Scouts today. My troop got a certificate of merit for selling cookies, over 25 boxes per girl. I am so proud of them.
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.
