(1991 April 9)
Geraldine went on to talk of another son who got the shakes if without liquor. Another son could never be without pot - either grew it or bought it. One daughter was always drunk - forty of all the places she worked this one (me) and one more were the only ones where liquor ws not used. She mentioned other children - I forget.
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.
