(1980 memoirs)
[At Fond du Lac's 8th grade] I was very gawky at first, being the only one who brot my lunch and all. I had the wrong shoes too, cloth tops that buttoned at the side. But after while I made some friends. There was Eleanor and her cousin Irma, and we often talked at recess.
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.
