(1967 August 9)
A year ago today was Daddy's gall bladder operation. As I was spending an hour and a quarter in the dentist chair yesterday, I saw him go by on the way to court - by Fleming's [shoe store]- the old spring in the step just as always.
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.
