(1980 memoirs)
I was a year ahead of Lorin but we both left Ripon together. He then went to Wisconsin studying law and taking extra work to finish out his degree at Ripon. [After doing graduate work in English at Madison for a year] I went up north to teach in a high school for two years, then got a job nearer Madison until school let out and we were married in June 1930.
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.
