(1966 September 9)
Yesterday the Powder Plant at Baraboo exploded and several fire departments called out. $500,000 damage. It was the building making bullets for Viet Nam. Rockets OK. No one knows cause.
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.
