(1993 February)
When it gets near meal time, I hear the clank of crutches and every other [such device] known to man. So sad, yet good they can go. I myself cannot go as well as I used to. Now 5:15 and time to lurk around the dining room until Dorothea says, "Ladies and Gentlemen, time to come to your evening meal."
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.
