(1986 July 12)
Have watched good circus parade in Milwaukee 2-4 pm [on TV]. Fine horses from around Wisconsin and circus wagons restored from Italy, England, US - often rotting in sheds. I don't recall having seen llamas hitched to wagons before - 4-6 to one trot along jauntily. A Liberty holding the Torch had to practice a long time to hold up arm. .... Beautiful horses etc.
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.
