(1980 memoirs)
Before leaving my dear cousin, I must tell you how she dressed, how she looked. She was rather a large boned woman, bigger than I, dressed always out of style, always the same. It was as if in her girlhood she found skirts and shirtwaists suited her, never wore them out and never replaced them.
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.
