(Lyndon 1)
[Polly's memoir of her brother, written in July 1980.] I will try to write a few words about my only brother, Lyndon Ellman Parsons, but not factual as you know my memory is not that good. But since you inquired, I'll try. One day in our study in the vicinity of the record collection I came across a newspaper account of his death. I looked again, just now, without finding it, but if ever I do, you will be the one I'll send it to. [It did turn up.]
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.
