(1980 memoirs)
The assistant for our section [of biology] was an Armenian, Katcher Tutungeon, who spoke with a deep accent. Well do I recall the day I put my eye to the microscope and obediently "drew what I saw." I had no idea what it was for some dim reason until he made his rounds and said, "Miss Parsons, your bed bug is OK, but you have drawn him on his head, upside down!"
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.
