(Dogs 18)
So started the reign of Vica. I believe I really named her. Queen and Princess seemed so worn. One day, when visiting Skip in his shack, I suddenly said, "How about Victoria? She was a queen and it could be a double entendre sort of -- you being victorious in winning us over." "Yes!" said Skip, "yes, and Vica for a call name."
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.
