(1999 August 6)
Stuck in my door was a Flyer telling a neighbor is trying to get the neighbors together by having a Block Party the 26th. I am to bring $5, my lawn chair, and a dish to pass. So well meaning, I'll try to go. The trouble is, I never remember names. What to do?
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.
