(1930 June)
I am telling you, Lorin became a lawyer; after Ripon he went on to graduate from UW law school and married me. After we were married in June on Flag Day [at Green Lake], we headed north in his stepmother's car, borrowed for the occasion. Northern Wisconsin was our goal and the sooner the better, as both of us were dog tired.
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.
