(1980 memoirs)
[In Biology class] we were seated alphabetically in the Little Theater for the lecture, and that put me next to a wise solemn senior, Si Owen, who was rather slight in build, wore dark horn-rimmed spectacles, and, belying his grave appearance, was exceedingly good company and frequentlly came out with funny and sometimes audacious things. As soon as I sat down next to him the first day, he said, "Hello, Angel Eyes."
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.
