(1987 early August)
In Schulz [dime store], Kathryn started feeling weak and still wanted to go to Super Value [grocery], so asked a clerk if she would drive her there if she were getting out of work soon!!! Clerk said No. Then Edy Symons, owner Indian Hollow Green House, took her to Super Value, gave her a ride home - carried her groceries up the [long flight of] steps! And Kathryn, instead of feeling ashamed of asking, just feels she was very lucky to get rides. How she can.
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.
