(1987 September 6 )
Congratulations on being Mr. President [of the Midwest Medieval Conference]. Keep the meetings short and you'll be popular. I once went (years ago) to a long PTA meeting that went ON & ON. At last I remembered Daddy's telling me a motion to adjourn is always in order. I waved my hand and when called on said, "I move we adjourn." Cries of Yea (relief!) and all thankfully bustled out leaving the confused president saying, "But - but - I had a couple of other things to bring up."
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.
