"1980 MEMOIRS" ENDS HERE.
"EARLY MARRIED LIFE" IS A SUPPLEMENT (also from 1980s)
(Married life)
If I hadn't been as big a fool in love as any schoolgirl (which indeed I was) I should have figured out Lorin's character while we were still at Ripon. Basically, he was a person who liked creature comforts, loved his God and home, disliked physical labor and so chose to live by his wits.
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.
