(1991 May 5)
Geraldine here with a story. Her daughter cleans for Paul Fowell [Polly's lawyer, recently deceased], and during the funeral, the two of them cleaned the Fowell home from top to bottom with no cost to the Fowells. Her face was radiant when she told me.
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.
