(1999 October 6)
It's a heavenly week-end here with blue skies and soft breezes, the last of its kind they tell us. The Hornets' Home Coming, and last night they won their football game with South Western, wherever that is. Today more hoop-la with booths with treats and exhibitions. Sunday the band leaves the park at 2 p.m. and sometime when it gets to the Square, the winners of the "Name That Building" [contest] will be announced, and Jan and I shall see how good we were at matching pictures and buildings.
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.
