(1980 memoirs)
Looking back on it all, I try to think what Lorin thought about Frankie, about her house and all -- And I have an idea he was really enchanted. When you know he loved A Kiss for Cinderella, Peter Pan, Snow White and the Seven Dorfs (that's the way Skip said it) you can guess what he thot of when stepped in the door. Charming, whimsical, amusing, a seeker of truth and of love, he cared about me.
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.
