(1993 October)
My friend Helen Bruns was telling me, cup in hand, she was Dr. Pippin's bookkeeper for years, but we never saw her because she was in an enclosed office. We seldom went there anyway. We went to the other one, which I can't think of - what, I shall write in if I can later [but didn't - it was Dr. Edwards].
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.
