(1930)
[The robber] took money LL left for groceries, about $7, and much worse our fraternity, sorority pins. I was too dazed to call out at once as he hurried down and away. Several times the police asked me to come to the police station to see arrested young men parade by on a stage with a strong light, but I never identified him. ... Bob Kay was persuaded to stay with [baby] Skip while I answered the police call.
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.
