(1965 July 21)
Before he [Skip] was born, I remarked to mother-in-law [Vina] if it were a girl we thot May Sue would be fine for a lawyer's daughter. We were out for one of those long Sunday rides at the time, and many a mile went by while she went on and on about how it was a dear name, but hadn't I better consider others also? A sad end for a little joke.
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.
