(1992 January 24)
[For my birthday] Daddy used to take me to the Park Hotel for dinner on Sunday - but it was not on the day. (He had a card at my place on the day, tho.)
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.
