(Lyndon 5)
[When I tore up Lyndon's valentine] he let out a wail and my mother scolded me. My father asked, "What's wrong?" Mother said, "She tore up the only valentine the poor boy had!" My father said, "Well, doll -- it's hell to be the oldest."
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.
