(1991 July 6)
Last evening Jan called for me and took me to the campus to see the grounds covered with small tents for one or two occupants pitched all over the place. So many colors and shapes! I believe there were 750 bicyclists following the Wisconsin River, pedaling here from Prairie du Chien. $125 for meals at campus and camping grounds.
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.
