(1989 November 5)
As I was washing dishes, I heard part of a lecture on astrology. The man said in a Germanic voice: Not only are you a part of your ancestors, your grandparents and great grandpartent, but you are also part of the stars. Have you ever thought of that? The atoms of the universe are part of you.
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.
