(1978 February 15)
Andrews asked me to Top of the Park [while visiting in Madison] to a champagne breakfast to meet Roy Vogelmans. Surely you remember Roy, WHA newscaster for 30 years. He is now reduced to 10 minutes and says the Establishment is trying to phase him out and also all Senior citizens like me. His wife Marilyn teaches journalism nearby. They get up 5 a.m. every day! I thoroly enjoyed it - a witty bunch. And I am sorry (or glad?) to tell how we ate, helping ourselves to the delicious buffet!
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.
