(1988 April 16)
Before I finish this dirge I want to say we had a Big Funeral here for Vernon Thompson [ex governor] and wheels out from Madison. His long political obit in paper. All very proper but being asked to fly our flags at half mast I thot was over doing it.
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.
