(1993 December)
Yesterday a long row of girls, about a dozen, came in my room after being introduced and permission granted. The leader said, "We are a bunch of girls who likes to get together. I am from Ithaca." The large girl in the center gave the tone, and all sang Xmas songs, very lovely. Also one day kindergartners.
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.
