(1993 August)
A tall girl evidently in charge of entertainment came in to ask me if I'd like to go for a walk. I said, "Are you serious? In 90 degree weather?" "Oh," said she, "I was thinking we'd sit under the shade trees." I said that was where all the mosquitoes were, and she smiled and left, having tried. I was abed, too.
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.
