[Christmas gifts from Bob Kays in Neenah WI included] Box from Kimberly Clark, paper products, toweling, Kleenex etc. L gave much speculation before opening, as "KC made paper products for all uses, you know,' and when open hooted, "There it is! There it is!"
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.
