(1991 January 4)
That other book I thot rather low. A man says he "is pissing" when I think he means he has been drinking. I understand several books have been written with the same sleuth, Charley -----?
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.
