(1993 January 25)
Suddenly I have a roommate. This girl ran The Discount Store in RC, also Paramont Picture Studio near Police Station. As I write this, she comes in and says, "Are you going to stay in here all day?" Me: "I may not." Helen: "They are all around the tele in the lobby." Me: "Oh." Later, Helen: "They aren't there any more now." Me: "Oh." Helen: "What are you going to do?" Me: "Have my hair washed" Helen: "Oh."
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.
