(1987 May 27)
Suzy Hirshey is always trying to place me in history. She last asked, "Did your mother make candles?" I said no - did your mother? Amusing.
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.
