(1980 memoirs)
I already mentioned the sideboard Frankie made, but I haven't told about the cupboard somewhat behind the stove -- this was a pass-thru arrangement, but we rarely used it for that because all the dishes were arranged to be reached from the kitchen.
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.
